"I Am My Own Grandpa"
~by D.Latham and M.Jaffe~

Many many years ago when I was twenty three,
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her,
And soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother,
For she was my father's wife.

To complicate the matters worse,
Although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle,
Though it made me very sad.

For if he was my uncle,
Then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother.

Father's wife then had a son,
Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson,
For he was my daughter's son.

My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandmother, too.

If my wife is my grandmother,
Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
It simply drives me wild.

For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!


Your the man jd. To funny.



I have a couple versions of this tune.. one is Homer and Jethro..

Every time I have a client in NY, NJ, CT, or MA, I *Thank G_D* I was born
and raised in the south.

I agree mainly with your post, I'm in Ohio, 'literally' across The Ohio River
from Ky. but that puts me in the North class which I wished was the
south...lol.

But overall, I do agree with you JD.......oh no O.T.- - Stair just said

I met more gentle, intelligent folks in my travels through the South*

I've seen ignorance everywhere I've been.

Excellent point Mr. Hill, I'm constantly jumping up on strangers,
smiling and asking them how they like their burger or if they really
think the line were in is, just the right size. Almost without
exception you'll get a smile, a chuckle or a nod of the head BUT
this **** FREAKS my old lady out. It embarrasses her and makes her
feel uncomfortable. How can engaging a fellow human being in
silly conversation for a moment or two be bad?
**** If I do nothing else in life but make a person or two, grin or
laugh, then I think I've helped ease the pain in the world a little
or at least in that persons life.

I guess that's why she's working on being my ex-old lady.

There is 1 out of 10 people that when you pull my silliness will just

broken their
funny bone and try and think a good thought for them and move on.

Here in Minnesota, Shawn, that kind of thing is a team sport.
I believe we've got leagues set up to compete in small talk.

It's funny; I can always spot a non - Midwesterner: They
are the folks who, when you chat 'em up, look like you just
took a crap on their shoes.

| PS. Oh and another two things

Funny story from my days in Milwaukee: I was getting
lunch at the Grand Avenue Mall, and in steps a very
well - dressed lady and two guys who obviously worked
with her. The most oily, rauncy, smelly, raucously - loud
fart jumped out of me. I turned around, looked surprised,
and fixed my gaze on the lady, and said, "Jesus Christ,
lady!" She got out of the elevator on the second floor,
the guys stayed in, the door closed, and the guys laughed
to the point of tears. One of 'em said, "I've wanted to do
that since I started working for that woman!" I replied,
"Damn, that's going to itch when it dries." They laughed
their butts off, and we parted friends.

Life is good.

One of these days, I'll regale the group with a campfire story
about the time a couple of friends and I went on a DXpedition.
The Bill of Fare consisted of eggs, Bush's Baked Beans, sausages
with sauerkraut, peppers, and onions, roasted corn, and cases of beer.

We decided to do our listening in the great outdoors. The tent
was too doggoned, ummm......stuffy.

You and Ben Franklin would have been buds, I think he wrote a small book on
farting didn't he, or is that just an urban legend?

There's something about you that I like (besides your nym being one of my
favorite characters). You seem to be able to speak your mind largely
without
name calling and ad hominem attacks. It's nice to discuss and debate ideas
without character assassination.


Thank you but only this past week I have slung insult to a lady that
were about as foul and disgusting as I have ever said. So much that it
embarrassed me then and now really and caused me to lose sleep, I'm being
good and paying penance right now. :0)

Oh and reread my quotes above, I essentially called the man a flake for
no other reason then jumping into a discussing and expressing his feelings.
I'm sure he has gotten burned in a flame war or holds grudges for whatever
reason. Coming from someone who is at the bottom of his life and quite
possibly not long due for this world, I can smell or at least I think I can
spot fear. The guy is scared about something and the fear expresses it self
in the form of anger, condemnation and loathing.

Although it wasn't "in your face" and I didn't use any of those bad
words I like so well, I did drop right down to his level and insulted a
stranger, which is something I would never do in public, unless they did
sort of bust in on my party and start being rude to me or my guest. Hey wait
a minute, didn't even our Lord Jesus have righteous anger? When he trashed
the temple and whooped ass on all those money lenders.

Maybe this guy should have been blasted for trying to rain on all our
parades, I'll have to think on this.

Sorry for rambling, it's late.

PS. While there are still all the silliness, if you what some honest
discussion with some very bright folks, check out the philosophy n/gs you
have some real serious PhD slinging bad motor scooters hanging around there.
While talking about life the universe and everything may not be your bag,
they do occasionally use there n/gs for what I could only call the best and
highest use that these n/g could ever be used for in a strictly educational
rational manner. Most of them even have the good taste to simple ignore
anyone who stumbles in and is a ****** or troll and does all those nasty
debating tactics you mentioned. Great men and women for the most part..Sorry
I'm rambling again.

PSS. Brenda and I love that name because I've loved a few Brenda's in my
time. I'm very much the sort of man you're mother warned you about and told
you to stay away from, you virtue or at least your sanity are at risk if you
get to within shouting distance of me. Just a heads up. :0)

See now, you're funny.. I like that.

As far as attacks go, yours are quite mild. Sometimes I think there should
be a sign posted at the top of each post to rrs..

It was a cross between that, and the Western that
starred John Candy (I think it was his last film).

Fortunately, no mushroom clouds were witnessed
(a la Beavis and Butthead do America).

I lived in Topeka in the '90s, and spent about half of my time
(work - related) in Kansas City. Johnson County in particular
is one of the best - kept secrets in America. I loved Kansas
and Missouri, because I knew I could stop in a local watering
hole or cafe, light a cigar, and not get that Brown Shirt Stare from
folks.

I caught almost as much fish when I lived in Kansas as I do now,
in Minnesota, but the winters weren't cold enough for my liking.

Go figure!

Actually, he wrote a number of bawdy tales, a few of
which I've read - I'll have to look for the "fart tome,"
because I'm a big fan of farting in general.
