A trio
of old veterans were bragging
about the heroic exploits of their
ancestors one afternoon down at the
VFW hall.
"My great grandfather, at age 13," one declared
proudly, "was a
drummer boy at Shiloh."
"Mine," boasts another,
"went down with Custer at the Battle of
Little Big
Horn."
"I'm the only soldier in my family," confessed vet number three,
"but
if my great grandfather was living today he'd be
the most famous
man in the world."
"Really? What'd he do?" his friends wanted to
know.
"Nothing much. But he would be 165 years old."
