We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say! Now, where were we? Oh yeah – the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

Hello Grampa, my old friend,  
Your busy day is at an end.  
Your exploits have been sad and boring,  
They tell a tale that’s worth ignoring.  
When you’re alone, the words of your story  
Will echo down the rest-home hall,  
'Cause no one at all,  
Can stand the sound  
Of Grampa.

\*Who controls the British crown?  
Who keeps the metric system down?  
We do, we do!  
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?  
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?  
We do, we do!  
Who holds back the electric car?  
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?  
We do, we do!  
Who robs cavefish of their sight?  
Who rigs every Oscar night?  
We do! We do!!! \*
