I have a hard time controlling myself when I see a title "Lost great grandfather", or "I have lost my gt gt grandmother"

I have this urge to post "How very careless of you. Can you remember where you saw them last?"


I'm hoping that one of the members who I "know" reasonably well and who seem to have a similar weird sense of humour (hello, Rambling or maggiew :-D) will post such a thread one of these days!


It will really make my day!!!!!

:-) :-)

Sylvia, my temptation is when someone ( possibly myself lol) posts along the line of

"What happened to William bn 1771?"

to answer: "I'm sorry, he's dead."

Or, to misquote Oscar Wilde, "“To lose one grandparent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”

:-D

I have some spare ones in my shed (remember it came with free erection?), do you think he might be in there.

could be, Sharron :-D

You'd better be careful though, he might be a little upset after being stuck in there all these years ;-)
