A tough old cowboy once told his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on his oatmeal every morning. The grandson took the old man’s advice and lived to the ripe old age of 103. When he died, he left 14 children, 30 grand-children, 45 great-grandchildren, 28 great-great grandchildren... and a 15-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
