I used to visit my 86 year old grandfather way out in the country. After spending a great evening chatting the night away, grandpa prepared breakfast of bacon and eggs. I noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned grandpa asking, “Are these plates clean?”
Grandpa replied, “They’re as clean as cold water can get em. Just you go ahead and finish your meal”.
For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, I was concerned about the plates as they appeared to have tiny specks around the edges that looked like dried egg and asked, “Are you sure these plates are clean?”
Without looking up the old man said, “I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don’t you worry, I don’t want to hear another word about it”.
Later that afternoon, as I was leaving, my grandfather’s dog started to growl and wouldn’t let me by. I called out and said, “Grandpa, your dog won’t let me get to my car”.
Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted, “COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN NOW, YA HERE ME!!!”
That was funny!
