• Grandpa : My father's father was known as "Big Meat." He lived to be 107 and he was still doing it!

  [Bends his arm, makes a fist, moves it back and forth, as he whistles - tsoo-tsoo-tsoo-tsoo...] 

• Grandpa : My father's father used to say, "To be fit as a fiddle, you have to piddle. To be fit as a frog, pee like a dog."
