Dorothy Rosby is a syndicated humor columnist and entertaining speaker whose column has appeared in newspapers in Midwestern and Western states since 1996. (The area is home to more cows than people, so the reader should not be overly impressed.)
Dorothy grew up in Buffalo, South Dakota, a town of fewer than 400 people in a state that was once left out of the Rand McNally atlas. A former radio announcer, she was once asked by an employer to change her on-air name because “No one can take you seriously with a name like Dorothy.” All of this has led to self-esteem issues that can only be handled with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor.
