Dave Barry is one of the most beloved humorists in America, and his latest book, Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up, is a hilarious collection of real-life absurdities that will leave you laughing out loud.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Dave Barry Turns 50 and I'll Mature When I'm Dead, this book is full of Barry's trademark wit and satire. He takes on everything from traffic laws to wedding vows to the latest news headlines, and he finds the absurdity in it all.

For example, in one chapter, Barry writes about a traffic law in Florida that makes it illegal to drive with an open container of alcohol in your car. But what if you're driving a convertible? Barry argues that the law should be changed to make it illegal to drive with an open container of alcohol in your car, unless you're driving a convertible. Then it should be legal.

In another chapter, Barry writes about wedding vows. He notes that most wedding vows include the phrase "for better or for worse." But what if things get really bad? Barry suggests that we add a new phrase to the vows: "for better or for worse, but not for ugly." That way, if your spouse starts to get ugly, you can get out of the marriage.

Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up is full of these kinds of hilarious observations about the absurdities of everyday life. It's a book that will make you laugh out loud, and it's a book that you'll want to read again and again.

Here are just a few of the hilarious stories you'll find in Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up:

The story of the man who was arrested for driving his car into a lake. When the police asked him why he did it, he said he was trying to wash his car.
The story of the woman who called the police to report that her husband was missing. When the police asked her if he had any distinguishing features, she said, "Yes, he's missing."
The story of the man who went to the doctor because he was having trouble sleeping. The doctor asked him if he had tried counting sheep. The man said, "Yes, but I always fall asleep before I get to 10."
