David "Dave" Barry (born July 3, 1947) is a bestselling American author and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist who wrote a nationally syndicated humor column for the The Miami Herald from 1983 to 2005
"In the pastdecade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men. These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that men know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is look at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in WoodShop eventually, when enoughthings in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home."
