BIG] An Obvious Career-Booster: ========================== Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry has been honored by the American Ferret Association. Mr. Barry took home the 1995 High Ferret Certificate Of Honor "for invoking the words `ferret' and `weasel' more than any other writer in the history of the English language." The thrilled humorist told _The_Washington_Post_: "Wow. I'm floored.
