A New York Times bestseller -- a brilliantly funny exploration of the Sunshine State from the man who knows it best: Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry.
We never know what will happen next in Florida.
We know only that, any minute now, something will.
Every few months, Dave Barry gets a call from some media person wanting to know, ``What the hell is wrong with Florida?`` Somehow, the state's acquired an image as a subtropical festival of stupid, and as a loyal Floridian, Dave begs to differ.
Join him as he goes in hunt of the legendary Skunk Ape; hobnobs with the mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs; and visits Cassadaga, the psychic capital of the world, to have his dog's aura read (apparently, she's ``very spiritual``).
Hitch a ride for the non-stop thrills of alligator-wrestling (``the gators display the same fighting spirit as a Barcalounger``), the hair-raising spectacle of a clothing-optional bar in Key West, and the manly manliness of the Machine Gun Experience in Miami.
It's the most hilarious book yet from ``the funniest damn writer in the whole country`` (Carl Hiaasen, and he should know).
By the end, you'll have to admit that whatever else you might think about Florida--you can never say it's boring.
