ACTUAL CONVERSATION I HAD WITH A WOMAN IN A BAR ON SATURDAY NIGHT

Woman: Are you Dave Barry?

Me: Yes.

Woman: I LOVED Marley and Me.

Me: Thanks, but I didn't write that.

(Pause)

Woman: It made me cry.

Don't worry about it Dave. I once told John Grogan that I enjoyed his book, "Boogers Are My Beat". It made him cry.

[Layzeeboy]

Obviously not a blogger.

[Ms. Flukey]

Was she blonde?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Dave was in a bar????

[jon]

In a bar, on a Saturday night?
Where did Mrs. Blog think you were?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Mrs. Blog is extremely understanding.

She is also capable of kicking his @ss.

[Not My Usual Alias]

A writer walked into a bar...

[RyanNerd]

@NMUA you beat me to it!

[Annie Where-but-here]

A common mistake. Dave wrote Tuesdays with Morley.

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Dave,

Bang up job on Marley and Me. Keep up the great work.

Sincerely,
Your Editor

This is how you can tell Dave is seriously married. If a cute woman makes this kind of mistake to a bachelor writer, he would say, "Thank you. Do you know that when I wrote it, I had a perfect reader in mind, and she looked just like you?"

[ligirl]

dave went to a bar with marley cyrus?! was there twerking involved ??!

[Annie Where-but-here]

I had no idea there were bars in Cyprus.

Marley the dog walks into a bar and says, "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw."

[ligirl]

i thought bob marley died years ago . . . dave's a stoner???!?

[manual tomato]

Woman : I keep thinking you are Dave Barry, but you look like Tony Curtis?

(pause)

Dave: Let Tony buy you drink.

[MOTW]

Incredibly, you-know-what was prolly involved.

[Loudmouth]

Everybody knows that. BTW, great job with Maximum Bob.

[queensbee]

nothing good comes of going into bars. think of the women you could have picked up in a liberry. oh wait.

[Clankazoid]

What bar was this ? I think I wrote " Old Yeller " and " The Champ ".

[Jan Grimsby.]

At first glance I thought Dave was in a bra. Which would've been absolutely fine.

[Annie Where-but-here]

I wrote this.

[Elon]

Dave Barry was also great in the film Charlie's Angels

[Annie Where-but-here]

I get that, too:

Woman: Are you Dave Barry?

Me: Yes.

Woman: Nice hair!

Me: Thanks.

[Theresa]

Oh Dave, this is too funny. How many drinks did she have? I was so glad you came to the radiothon this year and I got the chance to meet you but last year I volunteered there and I had shoppers come up to me when you came up on the screen who said to me who's that? Of course I explained who you were and that was when I mentioned last year that you needed to come to Michigan sometime and thankfully you did. Have a nice holiday

[Steve]

I loved that one where he played the President's double.

[oneblankspace]

At least she didn't confuse Barry with Barry.

I assure you, both images are from miamiherald.com.

[Cheryl Howard]

Dave wrote a book?

[Bar Fly Woman]

So you're actually Rick Barry?

Funny, I thought you'd be taller.

[HogsAteMySister]

Marley and the Starcatchers would be a great name for a rock band that makes blonde dog-lovers cry. Does Dave play music that dogs can hear?

[Steve H]

How dare you not be the person she expected.

[Not My Usual Alias]

The book would have ended better if Dave had written it. And there would have been a spare dog involved.

The image of a dog barking to be let out of a door that is the only thing standing after a hurricane is getting me to laugh.
