The Funniest People in Families David Bruce

This book is one-half of my previous book "The Funniest People in Religion and Families: 500 Anecdotes." It contains 250 stories about families, including this one: According to Totie Fields, her sister (Rosie), was the best cook in the family. Just before one Thanksgiving, Rosie prepared a feast of Jewish dishes-mushroom and barley soup, noodle pudding, brisket, and so on (Totie says that this is what the Jewish Pilgrims ate). Because the refrigerator and freezer were already full, they carried the Thanksgiving food out to the garage and left it there, knowing that the weather was cold enough to keep the food safe. Thanksgiving morning they went to the garage, only to discover that a gardener had left the door to the garage open and a neighborhood dog had enjoyed the feast. For Thanksgiving, they ate in a restaurant, then drove around the neighborhood looking for a dog with heartburn.
