Friday I got in from taking a Girl Scout troop on a fossil hunting field trip, and I was really famished. I didn't have any of my family with me, and when I dine alone I like to have something to read as I eat my meal. I walked into my local Hasting's and headed to the Used Book bin, and saw a copy of Dave Barry's BOOGERS ARE MY BEAT, a collection of his columns from 200-2002. I'm a huge fan of Dave Barry - he is one of the funniest human beings ever to live, in my opinion. So I picked up the book to read over lunch for about $4.99. Got to the restaurant, ordered my Mandarin Chicken Wings, and opened it up - to find that the thing was signed, and dedicated, by Dave Barry himself! The marker had even bled thru the page a bit, so I knew it was real. I now have a signed book by my favorite humorist! And I got it for $4.99!
