[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Grandpa & Grandma

[Tamara P. Duvall]

Recently, I've found myself forwarding more and more jokes via the 
subterrrenean routes instead of sending them to the chat (*when* I 
forward them at all; not all that many new ones, recently... Could be, 
because there's little to laugh about?). Mostly because jokes which are 
new, and "clean" enough for the New Standards, *and* funny, are as rare 
as hen's teeth... The one which follows is an example: it's funny. It's 
not *bright new*, but not so recent here that it doesn't merit a 
reprise, either. But, is it *clean enough*??? 4 yrs ago, I wouldn't 
have thought twice, about forwarding it but, in the present climate... 
With my own son suggesting that, perhaps, I ought to learn encrypting 
our correspondence because, although it's mostly on family matters, 
politics inevitably intrude, and might get the both of us in trouble? 
(Stalin, I salute ya; you live long after you're dead)

Anyway... I decided to forward this one above ground because: a) I got 
it from my (80yr old - how much more respectable can you get?) DH. b) 
*He* got it from his gym buddy, who happens to be an ordained preacher 
(can't remember the particular branch of Christianity). c) who, in 
turn, got it from his Mama (there's a woman I'd love to meet; half of 
the stuff DH gets from this particular source comes with: "apologies; 
Ma's got a robust sense of humor" <g>)

From: S.D.
Grandpa and Grandma were visiting their kids overnight, when Grandpa 
found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet.

He asked the son about using one of the pills, and the son said I don't 
think you should take one; they're very strong and very expensive."

"How much?" asked Grandpa.
"$10.00 a pill" answered the son.
"I don't care," said Grandpa, "I'd like to try one, and I'll leave the 
money under your pillow as soon as I break this $50.00 bill."

The next morning the son found $110.00 under his pillow. He said to 
Grandpa, "I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00."

"I know," said Grandpa. "The hundred is from Grandma."
