My favorite Barr story involves him arguing with the Post Office about the age of records he was either mailing or receiving in the mail, so that he did not have to pay as much for them.    They asked him to prove the age of the records involved so he showed them the info in the book, that he'd authored.  They believed the book.

And we used to joke about the title, just as Dave King did a few days 
ago, when Steven was still around.
