DAVE BARRY QUOTABLES

On Virginia Tech: Is that really the nickname, or are they just pulling my leg?

"When you think about fearsome creatures you don't normally think turkey.

"Anyway, it's nice to be here. Wherever the hell we are."

On dogs:

"They're great because they are really enthusiastic - and when I say enthusiastic I mean stupid."

On TV's "Lassie":

"It was the world's smartest dog, with the world's stupidest farm family. . . . Every time this family goes outside they get into a life-threatening situation. How the hell do you find quicksand on a farm?"

On readers who just don't get his column:

"I've found out that a lot of people who read my column are humor-impaired."

On why most of his columns assert that women are better than men:

"I'm not above pandering. Men having nothing I want."

On why Judge Wapner from "The People's Court" should be used to reform the judicial system:

"This guy is a genius. He can solve any legal dispute in 15 minutes."

On why he started writing:

"It was a question of me realizing I had no other useful skills."
