...family was storefront kosher. Whenever the rabbi left our house it was, "Strike the sets, remove the props." My mom and I were seafood nuts, but of course lobster is not kosher. We'd bought three live lobsters for dinner, and sure enough, the rabbi pulled into our driveway. Mom panicked and threw the live crustaceans at me; I had to hide them under my bed. Then the rabbi came to my room to see how I was doing. You could hear the lobsters clicking and clacking each other with their tails. The rabbi just sort of stared and sniffed...

This archetypal wisecrack is, after her heartfelt growl about the overmeticulous neighbor who waxes her driveway, probably the best known of Bombeck's nifties. It has a dead-on, chisel-it-on-my-tombstone truthfulness. But for the moment, no one paid much attention to her capering. She did a column a week, at $3 each, for the Kettering-Oakwood Times, a suburban weekly. Her desk was a piece of plywood supported...
