Synopsis

An uproariously funny examination of what one generation can teach to another-or not-from the Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times-bestselling author of You Can Date Boys When You're Forty and Insane City. During the course of living (mumble, mumble) years, Dave Barry has gained much wisdom* (*actual wisdom not guaranteed) and he is eager to pass it on-to the next generation, the generation after that, and to those idiots who make driving to the grocery store in Florida a death-defying experience. In brilliant, brand-new, never-before-published pieces, Dave passes on home truths to his new grandson and to his daughter, Sophie (who will be getting her learner's permit in 2015, the thought of which scares Dave silly). He explores the hometown of his youth, when all the men went to the city in suits and hats but still seemed to be having un-Mad Men-like fun, and how they turned into the neurotic hover-parents of today. He dives into everything from Google Glass (bottom line: "You feel like an idiot") to why men hate birthdays and anniversaries; from How to Speak Spanish to firsthand accounts of the soccer craziness of Brazil and the just-plain-crazy craziness of Putin's Russia, and a lot more besides. By the end, if you do not feel wiser, richer in knowledge, and more attuned to the universe.it wouldn't be surprising. But you'll have had a lot to laugh about!

A series of hilarious essays. Some of them were laugh out loud funny, but they were all entertaining. I especially loved the Mad Men bit and the letter to his grandson. I may have to start composing something for my grandson. Lol......more

Goodreads review by Tony on November 08, 2015

Since the turn of the millennium, more or less when Dave Barry quit writing his syndicated humor column, the job of keeping Americans in stitches has undergone a metamorphosis. Some people gravitated to the likes of Jon Stewart and went political. Others to the likes of David Sedaris and went social......more

Goodreads review by Fred on April 06, 2015

I suspect one must be "one of us" to enjoy this - white male baby boomer with sophomoric sense of humor - but there are a lot of us out there! Probably also helps to live in Florida and be familiar with the peculiar kind of wackiness that defines our state, although Dave does touch on universal them......more
