Notes
Description
"In Class Clown, Dave Barry takes us on a hilarious ride, starting with a childhood largely spent throwing rocks for entertainment. Somehow he would up as a humor columnist for The Miami Herald, where his boss encouraged him to write about anything that struck him as amusing and to never worry about alienating anyone. He became a book author and joined a literary rock band, which was not good at playing music but did once perform with Bruce Springsteen. Class Clown is a vibrant celebration of life rich with humor, absurdity, joy, and sadness." --,Page [4] of cover.
