If you like other Dave Barry books, his Miami Herald columns, his year-in-review, and his gift guide, you'll love this book. You'll learn how (not) to invest in the stock market, get a job, buy a house, and keep up with the Joneses next door (by stealing from them when they're out). Learn how to save money by getting your kids to go to inexpensive colleges, which also takes the pressure off on their getting high grades. I don't remember there being any booger jokes in the book, but readers are free to deploy used tissues as bookmarks. And "The Used Tissue Bookmarks" might even be a good name for a rock band.
