A TOUGH OLD COWBOY FROM MONTANA COUNSELED

HIS GRANDSON THAT IF HE WANTED TO LIVE A LONG LIFE,

THE SECRET WAS TO SPRINKLE A PINCH OF GUN POWDER

ON HIS OATMEAL EVERY MORNING.

THE GRANDSON DID THIS RELIGIOUSLY TO THE AGE OF 103 WHEN HE DIED.

HE LEFT BEHIND 14 CHILDREN, 30 GRANDCHILDREN, 45 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN,

AND A 150-FOOT HOLE WHERE THE CREMATORIUM USED TO BE.

Lol, like it! Rumor has it that my great-grandfather actually put a pinch of gun powder in his coffee every day, but I never met him so who knows. He was a half-breed logger/trapper in the early 1900s.

His last words to his wife were " Get off the stove Momma your to old to ride the range".

Joseph! Repeating yourself from early on in the "Pun-Demonium" string?

He wanted to wake up with a bang, didn't he?
