- Synopsis
- Fifth-grader Anthony Madison, a.k.a. Tony Baloney, can't get enough of the Late Show with David Letterman. He loves the jokes, the silly routines, and most of all the top ten lists Dave features night after night; and Tony will stop at nothing to get himself on the program. He's even devising his own repertoire of Stupid Human Tricks and top ten lists (such as "The Top 10 Ways to Ruin the First Day of 5th Grade, #1: Get your foot stuck in a toilet in the boys' rest room and have to be rescued by the 911 guys") sure to put him next in line as Dave's replacement. But to get all the way from Kansas to the big time in New York City, he will have to pull out all the stops. With his own brand of top ten lists, and stunts that range from photocopying his hinder to taking to the field in a bear suit at a professional football game, Tony Baloney takes his friends. family, and readers on an uproarious and wild ride to remember. From The Top 10 Ways to Ruin Day of 5th "We shouldn't be doing this," Mo said. "It's the first day of school." "You worry too much," said Tony. He faced the wall, climbed up on a toilet, and stood on the edge of the open bowl with his feet spread apart. Then he pulled a jump rope out of his back pocket. "What are you going to do with that?" asked Mo. "I'm going to flush and jump," Tony proudly said. "Nobody's ever jumped rope on an open flushing toilet before!" "That's stupid," said Mo. "Exactly," said Tony. . . . "Stupid human tricks. . . . You know. Like on the Late Show with David Letterman. . . ." Tony flushed the toilet and then swung the rope over his head. His first jump was perfect. His feet landed squarely on the seat of the toilet. Jumps two and three were pretty good. Jump number four was not. . . . His right foot missed the seat and plunged into the toilet. . . . Tony dropped the jump rope. . . . "My foot is stuck. . . . Mr. Gore is going to kill us. . . ." Tony flushed and Mo pulled. . . . Nothing happened-except that water filled the toilet and spilled onto the floor. "We're dead now," said Mo.
