jk: To end life with other than a whimper:==>

Feb 2, 2004 9:08PM PST

A tough old burdock once counseled 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 did this religiously and lived to the age of 110.

He left behind 4 children, 20 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, 10 great-great grandchildren - and a fifty-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
