I was brought up agnostic and agnostic I will stay. But with the help of Milt Gross, I was also brought up to love and mock my Jewish heritage. In my family mockery was how we expressed love for something, which seems to me the most Jewish of traits. It might explain why there are so many great Jewish comedians.

I have no idea what ever became of the book. I certainly enjoyed this trip down memory lane this 16th day of November 2010.
