More for Dot

As a young lad Simon asked Grandpa Sullivan, "Grandpa, how did you ever get so old?" "Well," replies the grandfather, "every morning, I pour a teaspoon of gunpowder into my coffee, and I guess that's the reason." So Simon begins drinking coffee and doing the same. 90 years pass and Simon finally dies having reached the age of 102. He left behind 5 kids, 18 grandkids, 43 great grandkids, several million dollars, and a 60 foot hole in the wall of the crematorium

 

Old Dot says, “If you want someone to listen to you, start the conversation with, I shouldn’t be telling you this, but…”

 

Old Budman was reminiscing about the good old days. "When I was a boy, my mother would send me with $1.00 to the corner store. I'd come back with 5 potatoes, 2 loaves of bread, 3 bottles of milk, a hunk of cheese, a box of tea and a dozen eggs. You just can't do that today...too many security cameras."

I used to be sent to the corner store for my grandfather with the request for some 'Old Shag'?

Must have been politically correct in those days?? unless it was a request from him for 'favours'?
