David Bruce Anecdotes
Alcohol
• Mr. Fowler, a Quaker, ran a Temperance Hotel, something that did not always suit his customers. One evening, he saw a chambermaid carrying some hot water — for shaving, she said — to a customer. This made him suspicious, since shaving is usually done in the morning, not the evening. So Mr. Fowler said that he would prepare the hot water for shaving, and he put soap into the container of hot water and — as he had suspected — whiskey.
• American writer Hart Crane once spent three weeks in a Paris prison. He had gone to the Select restaurant, drunk a large amount of Cutty Sark, and then announced that he had no money. Mr. Crane ended up decking four waiters and a police officer before finally being dragged off to prison — with his head banging on the cobblestones of the street.
• Marion Davies once invited teetotaler Calvin Coolidge to one of her parties and deliberately served him sweet wine, telling him that it was fruit juice. Mr. Coolidge liked the beverage so much that he had three servings and told his hostess, “I don’t know when I’ve had anything as refreshing.
Animals
• Like other employees, Walt Disney ate at the concession stand at the Disney Studio. One day, he sat at the counter and ordered just a coffee. A stray dog came in with him, without him noticing, and Mary Flanagan, who ran the concession stand, said, “I’ll have to call the guard. I don’t know where this dog came from.” Walt said, “He’s probably hungry. Give him a hamburger.” Mary gave the stray dog a hamburger, and then Walt gave her a dollar to pay his bill. Mary gave him 40 cents change, and Walt yelled, “What kind of price are you charging for coffee, Mary?” She replied, “The coffee’s only a dime, Walt, but the dog was your guest, and that was 50 cents for the hamburger.” Walt laughed. As you would expect, Walt was well loved and had many fans. At the New York World’s Fair, teenaged girls came up to him and asked him for his autograph. He signed a few autographs, and then he gently took a girl’s hands and said, “Look, honey, I’m going to get mobbed. I can’t sign anymore.” She screamed, “He touched me! He touched me!”
• A spiritual pretender stayed the night at the house of Mulla Nasrudin, and then tried to impress him by saying: “Last night I left my earthly body and journeyed throughout the cosmos.” Nasrudin asked, “When you journeyed throughout the cosmos, did you feel a slight breeze?” “Yes, I did,” the pretender said. “Ah,” Nasrudin said, “I have bad news for you. Last night, my donkey stuck his tail in your bedroom window, and the breeze you felt was made by the swishing of his tail.”
• In April of 1995, Ken Griffey made a bet with Seattle Mariners manager Lou Piniella that he could hit a certain number of home runs during batting practice. Mr. Piniella bet a steak that he couldn’t do it. Mr. Griffey lost the bet, and a few days later, when Mr. Piniella walked into his office, he found a 1,200-pound Hereford cow. Mr. Griffey said, “There’s your steak.”
• Julie Utting of Half Moon Bay, New Zealand, found a great way to make herself feel sexy. In her garden are many tui, which are birds that mimic the sounds they hear. Julie started wolf-whistling at the birds, and now they wolf-whistle at her. Julie says, “It’s fantastic — makes my day.”
• The London Metro has a Good Deed Feed in which people can text short messages thanking people for brightening their day. In June 2012, “Marley The Dog” sent this short message: “Thank you to my wonderful friend for saving me from drowning in the canal.”
Authors
• M.F.K. Fisher worked in Hollywood for a while and wrote gags for one of the Road movies starring Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour. She remembers, “The first time I wrote one, my producer said, ‘I want you to do a three-minute gag line.’” She wrote it in half an hour and sent it to the producer, who looked at it and said, “This is impossible. Pure plagiarism. Nobody could write this in an half hour.” Her business manager told her that she should have taken at least two weeks to write it. Then it would have been accepted. Ms. Fisher began writing at an early age. At age nine, she began writing a novel, and as she finished a chapter she read it out loud to her parents. She stopped writing it because when she read it out loud, her parents kept laughing, although her novel was not meant to be comic. She remembers that she was writing about things she did not understand and that her characters kept “hoping” in and out of bed. Of course, Ms. Fisher understood food and cooking. While she was living in France, her dinner guests did not believe that she had cooked the meal. They thought that she kept the cook hidden so that no one would make the cook a better offer and employ her. Unfortunately, Ms. Fisher never made much money from writing books. In an interview published in 1986, six years before she died, she said that the biggest royalty check she ever got was for $500. Once, she got a royalty check for $10. This did not bother her, she claimed, but it did bother her agent.

SOME BOOKS BY DAVID BRUCE
(Lots of FREE eBooks)
RETELLINGS OF A CLASSIC WORK OF LITERATURE
Do you know a language other than English? If you do, I give you permission to translate any or all of my retellings, copyright your translation, publish or self-publish it, and keep all the royalties for yourself. (Do give me credit, of course, for the original retelling.)
I would like to see my retellings of classic literature used in schools, so I give permission to the country of Finland (and all other countries) to give copies of this book to all students forever. I also give permission to the state of Texas (and all other states) to give copies of this book to all students forever. I also give permission to all teachers to give copies of this book to all students forever.
Teachers need not actually teach my retellings. Teachers are welcome to give students copies of my eBooks as background material. For example, if they are teaching Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, teachers are welcome to give students copies of my Virgil’s Aeneid: A Retelling in Prose and tell students, “Here’s another ancient epic you may want to read in your spare time.”
