Two bulls were standing on a hill looking at the beautiful females in the valley. The young bull said, "Let's run down there and get one of those females"! The old said, said, "Let's walk down there and get all those females". Grandfather's favorite joke. My grandfather Ace Caldwell was truly the stuff America is made of. As a business- man and entrepreneur (a fancy word for gambler), he lost everything in the "Great Depression". With children to feed my grandfather worked as an auctioneer until he could get back on his feet financially. One day he was auctioning a farm and could not get anyone to bid on a manure spreader. So my grandfather with that quick wit of his jumped down in the manure spreader from the stage and yelled out, "What will you give me for it loaded"? He sold the used manure spreader for more than a new one cost. Another story about my grandfather that I just love. He was known for his dapper suits throughout the region so he open a custom tailor shop. He hired a Jew from NYC as his tailor since they are world renowned for their master craftsmanship. The head of the KKK came to my grandfather's house late one night and said, "The Jew has got to go". My grandfather told the head of the Klan, "The Jew stays! I need him for my business". Than night the Klan burned his business to the ground, and my grandfather lost everything. That my friends is a true story about this amazing man. And folks wonder where I get my fork tongue, wit and spunk. Lantz 2010 |
Mr. Potato Head walked up to the bar and belted out, "Hey bartender, two shots of Jack Daniels". The bartender poured two shots and walked away. Mr. Potato Head slammed down one shot, threw the other shot on his left hand and belted out, "Hey bartender, two shots of Jack Daniels". The bartender poured two shots and walked away. Mr. Potato Head slammed down one shot, threw the other shot on his left hand and belted out, "Hey bartender, two shots of Jack Daniels". The bartender walked up and asked, "What in the hell are you doing Mr. Potato Head"? Mr. Potato Head answered, "I'm trying to get my date drunk". Lantz 2010 |
