This past summer, my wife and I took 3 of our granddaughters to Pigeon Forge, and Biltmore House, and had one of the best vacations we've had in some time. On the way I told the girls an old joke that has been a favorite of mine for a while. It's about a young man with a wooden eye, that he is sure everyone notices above all else, and when he finally gets the courage up to ask a young wall flower if she would like to dance ( she is releived to be asked as the evening is almost over), she blurts out "Would I?". He immediatly gets defensive, and calls her big ears. It's not a back slapper, just a chuckle, a grandpa joke, if you will, but the girls enjoyed it. Anyway, a few days later we attended one of the fine shows at Pigeon Forge, featuring oldies rock and roll, and a guy on stage asked a girl if she would like to go to the beach. When she replied "Would I?", three heads turned my way and burst out laughing. I'm sure the audience, and the folks on stage didn't have a clue as to what was so funny, but to me, it was pricelesss.                       A grandpa moment I'll remember fo a long time, bye now.
