Geez, another tearjerker for today.

It's time for a lighter note. I've threatened to tell SAM this one before. We'll file it under the category They Also Serve Who Sit and Wait. This is my dad's favorite story about his dad, whom I never knew.

Grandpa had four sons and several grandsons fighting for the allies in World War II. (My cousin was held in a German prison camp.) Apparently some jerk was smarting off and bragging about how great the war was and he hoped it would last forever because he was making so much money from it. Grandpa slugged the guy. He was hauled in front of the small-town judge and tried for assault. The judge, knowing he had to enforce the law but also understanding that the guy probably deserved it, fined Grandpa one dollar. Grandpa handed him two dollars. The judge asked him why he gave him two dollars. Grandpa said, "I may have to hit him again."

Grandpa said, "I may have to hit him again."

LOL! I love it!

Thanks for the "lighter note".

LOL! I think I'd like your grandfather.
