Grandparents…
Grandparents: The people who think your children are wonderful even though they’re sure you’re not raising them right.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
My grandfather’s a little forgetful, but he likes to give me advice. One day, he took me aside and left me there. -Ron Richards
My grandmother was a very tough woman. She buried three husbands and two of them were just napping. -Rita Rudner
My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn’t need glasses–drinks right out of the bottle.
My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the hell she is. -Ellen DeGeneres

I’s crap my pants if I saw this walking down the road.

From a blog made by New York garbage collectors.
The city throws away a total of 24 million pounds of household trash each day, which, according to some estimates, costs about $167 per ton to send to an out-of-state landfill or incinerator. Most of the trash is trucked to landfills upstate, or to Pennsylvania, Ohio or Virginia. For nine months in 2005, Tullytown, Pennsylvania — in the state that takes in the most waste exports nationwide — received 400,000 tons of garbage from New York State.
