"The Family Feast"

One of my favorite stories is the tale of the "Family Feast." Whenever I see my friend Rich, I make him tell the story. He gets annoyed at times, but I laugh so hard each time he tells this story.

Rich was a pizza delivery boy in high school. The pizza place where he worked had a daily special called a "Family Feast." This feast included one large pizza, 12 garlic knots, a meatball parmasean hero, a 2-liter coke, and a salad for like $20.00. One day Rich was told to go to this house for a delivery of a Family Feast. He arrived at the house with the food and rang the doorbell. A few minutes later this 300lb woman answers the door and greets him. She thanks him and pays him for the food. He drives away, headed back to the restaurant. As he pulled away, he looked down on the passenger's seat of his car and realized he forgot to give the woman the salad. He drove back to her house and rang the bell to give her the salad. He rang it and rang it and nobody answered. He couldn't figure out where these people were. He walked to the side of the house and looked through the window to see if he could locate the people and get their attention. As he looked in he saw the woman that answered the door in a recliner, with the food spread out all over the coffee table in front of her. She was all alone eating this family feast. She was in a recliner, with her head cocked back, holding the hero with two hands, licking the cheese off the meatball parmasean hero. Rich finally got her attention. Rich went back to the front of the house to meet her at the front door. She came to the door with sauce all over her face and said, "Gee, I was wondering where the salad was" and thanked him for coming back. Rich was stunned that she was eating all this food by herself and drove back to the restaurant in disbelief......a classic indeed.

She needed the salad, so that she was eating healthy!
