I’ve read critics say that Garrison Keillor is the funniest man in America. Other critics say that it’s Dave Barry. Which is it?
———- from Pauline McCann of Drogheda, Ireland
Dave Barry and Garrison Keillor are actually the same person, an Irish mimic who’s real name is Paddy O’Shea. Since Paddy couldn’t get a visa to work in the states, he had to adopt these various persona, including the deep voiced Minnesotan and the elfish Floridian. Paddy’s working on other impressions, including Dr. Joyce Brothers and Carl Sagan. He’ll have to wait until these last two retire, but that won’t be a stretch for an Irishman, who can hold a grudge longer than Bolivia can maintain a government.
