Product Description: For thousands of years, women have asked themselves: What is the deal with guys, anyway? What are they thinking? The answer, of course, is: virtually nothing. But that has not stopped Dave Barry from writing an entire book about them, dealing frankly and semi-thoroughly with such important guy issues as:
- Scratching - Why the average guy can remember who won the 1960 World Series but not necessarily the names of all his children - Why guys cannot simultaneously think and look at breasts - Secret guy orgasm-delaying techniques, including the Margaret Thatcher Method - Why guys prefer to believe that there is no such thing as a "prostate"
Absolutly the funniest and loudest out loud laughs I have given away to my firends at least 12 copies of this wonderfully funny book. One cannot hold the laughter in so don't try to read it in bed if your partner is trying to sleep. Definately do not read it in a library or on an early morning train.
Funny Stuff Absolutely, Dave Barry shoots for the middle to low brow here, but he's still exceedingly funny and, as always, silly as can be. I find Barry works better in small doses (i.e. articles), but if you'd like a relaxing, jokey beach read then put this on your list. As a humorist myself, I have to hand it to Dave Barry. He definitely knows how to make people laugh.

Dave Dave, he's the man, if he can't make you laugh, nobody can What I love about Dave is he's a regular guy....and yet, he's so darn funny! Here he is writing about what he knows best - guys. I laughed so hard that tears were rolling down my face........and I wasn't even past the introduction! Seriously though, this book should be required reading for any girl planning to get married or just moving in with a guy. It might save them some grief later on. Heck - it could even save a marriage or two or thirteen! Dave so hilariously shares with us all the mysteries of being a guy - from scratching (still chuckling about that chapter) to urinal etiquette, fear of committment to special medical conditions such as memory lapses. He truly says it like it is and oh, it's said so well. There's only one other humor writer who has made me laugh so hard I peed my pants (thanks a lot, Jarod Kintz) but Dave rates right up there for Guy Most Likely to Make you Pee.
So True! Out of all of Barry's books, he referred to this book the most when he spoke to us at the Speaker Series. This book covers all of those quirky things about guys that all guys know deep down but never have the balls to mention. I relate well with the male urinal strategy that he outlines. I have never had my prostate examined, but I could not hold back my laughter when he described the prostate exam as all men's greatest fear.
Guides to guys Dave Berry's Guide to Guys is the best book out there to read for guys. It is so funny. It makes you wet yourself in laughter. It will make you want to read more to see what will be his next joke. There is a test that you can take if you are a guy or a man. The jokes are not too bad for young kids.
