The first joke I can remember was from Phyllis. "Fang and I were just at a costume party and I went practically in the nude. All I wore was a white fuzzy hat and white fuzzy slippers...I went as a Q-Tip.
I still giggle at that joke and I must have been no more than 3 or 4 years old when I heard it on television.
she's a legend here in st. louis, having lived here in the 60's and performing for years in gaslight square. she often said st. louis was always home to her.

My favorite was their first Thanksgiving - she didn't know how to cook and was trying to dress the turkey - in clothes. Still cracks me up.
