Dave Barry and the Oregon Whale
25 years ago when I read the Dave Barry's piece on the whale I could not stop laughing for what seemed like an hour. Every few years I'd return to it and like again last night it was worth a good laugh. One line of his will always stay with me .... "I am probably not guilty of understatement when I say that what follows, on the videotape, is the most wonderful event in the history of the universe." Dave Barry.
