“But...but....isn’t Dave Barry dead?”
The humorist-journalist Grizzard died a while back. Is that who you mean?

“..P.J. O’Rourke...”
I’m a chick who knows/cares nothing about cars, racing, etc. Still, one of the funniest things I’ve ever read was by P.J. O’Rourke when he wrote for “Car And Driver”. It was about a race — across England, I think. Hilarious!

Believe it or not, this IS just an excerpt. It's way less than half. The whole thing his hysterically funny.
Indeed. It's worth the time.

Dave Barry was one of the best satire writers ever.
When did he switch to hard news journalist stuff?

Dave Barry is always pretty good.
I'll never forget the essay he published about how to impress one's high school-aged son by picking him up at the school - in front of all his freinds - in the WeinerMobile.

Grizzard was great! “Southern by the grace of God!” I can only imagine what he’d be writing now if he was still alive.

Lewis Grizzard is sorely missed. After numerous failed marriages, he was asked once if he planned to marry again. He replied instead that every two years, he would go out and find a woman he didn't like and buy her a house.
Once at a Georgia game, there were two UGA fans watching the bulldog mascot licking himself as dogs are custom to do. One of them says, "Gee, I wish I could do that." The other replied, "Man, that dog will bite you."

“Grizzard was great!”
I know. Sometimes when I was in a very “down” place, reading his books — compliations of his essays — was the only thing that could make me laugh.
