Many years ago, a tough old cowboy from Texas told his granddaughter that if she wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on her oatmeal every morning.
His granddaughter did this religiously until she reached the ripe old age of 103, when sadly she passed away.
She left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren, 25 great-great-grandchildren, and a 40 foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
