Dave Barry's 2015 Year in Review
Miami Herals ^ | 23 Dec, 2015 | Dave Barry

Posted on 12/24/2015 3:50:55 PM PST by MtnClimber

Sometimes we are accused - believe it or not - of being overly negative in our annual Year in Review. Critics say we ignore the many positive events in a given year and focus instead on the stupid, the tragic, the evil, the disgusting, the Kardashians.

OK, critics: We have heard you. This year, instead of dwelling on the negatives, we're going to start our annual review with a List of the Top 10 Good Things That Happened in 2015. Ready? Here we go:

1. We didn't hear that much about Honey Boo Boo.

2.

OK, we'll have to get back to you on Good Things 2 through 10. We apologize, but 2015 had so many negatives that we're having trouble seeing the positives. It's like we're on the Titanic, and it's tilting at an 85-degree angle with its propellers way up in the air, and we're dangling over the cold Atlantic trying to tell ourselves: "At least there’s no waiting for the shuffleboard courts!"

We need to drop a J.T.T.A.B(James Taylor Tactical Assault Ballad) on ISIS. It might work.

LOL!

Yes, communication is the key to a successful relationship. That, and not peeing in the shower. That’s pretty much all the advice I have for you men.

Worthwhile advice that can't make things worse.

I seriously doubt that Dave Berry created this article. It is not of his unique spirit, expect at the very beginning.
