Stay Fit and Healthy Until You're Dead

By: Dave Barry

Narrated by: Arte Johnson

Now is not the time to start that fitness program! Instead, laugh along with humorist Dave Barry as he debunks, demotivates, and delights on the subject of fitness. Hear his inimitable views on exercise ("the best time would be the first thing after Easter, but not the one coming up"), weights ("big-time lifters have turned into 400-pound hairy sweaty shapeless grunting masses of tissue. And the men are even worse"), and much more.©1985 Rodale Press (P)1996 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

funny but out of date

this is humorous and you will get some laughs. but truly, it is dated a bit

Not the best

I love Dave Barry and no one makes me laugh more. But this is one of his less funny.

Hilarious

This is awesome. I love Dave Barry! I listen to this at work and it makes the day fly by.

Nostalgic vs dated humor, but usually funny

I’m a big Dave Barry fan and read his weekly column for years. This book is over 30 years old and typical of his formulaic but imaginative wit. Arte reads it well but doesn’t always hit the punch lines in rhythm. I recommend playing it a bit at a time so you don’t get saturated with his style; that’s how I used to savor his columns anyway.

Excellent

I read the book several years ago and thought it was funny. But listening to Arte Johnson read it is even funnier! I almost hurt myself I was laughing so hard.
