An early 2007 Darwin Awards entry ...

Sedaris never said it was true. He said he read it in the newspaper.

 

One of the funniest things I've read by Sedaris (I can't remember which book because I passed it on to a friend, but it's the one with a naked doll body on the cover) is when he talks about a Halloween as a kid when his mom came into the room to take the candy intended for trick-or-treaters. He wrote about how he'd shove pieces of chocolate at a time into his mouth and how when he protested the chocolate would drool out of his mouth. Such a funny bit.
