Dave Barry nejznámější citáty

„V dávných dobách, kdy se tomuto období ještě neříkalo 'nákupní sezóna', nazývali ho křesťané Vánoci a chodili do kostela; židé mu říkali chanuka a chodili do synagogy; ateisté chodili na večírky a opíjeli se. Lidé míjející se na ulicích si pak říkali: 'Veselé Vánoce!', 'Veselou chanuku!' nebo (v případě ateistů) 'Pozor na ten sloup!'.“
