• Out With a Bang

    A tough old cowboy from Texas counselled his granddaughter that if she wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gun powder on her oatmeal every morning.

    The granddaughter did this religiously until the age of 103, when she died.

    She left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren, 25 great-great-grandchildren, and a 40-foot crater where the crematorium used to be.
