My grandpa fought in the 1st WW and was downpressured under the nazis, he was a socialist. He told me that war is hell and fascist are scum and that I´m a part of the working class.
doctor killed my grandad with some experimental surgery so i barely got to know him,, other one died when my dad was young so not much i can add..
i always got a calm sharing vibe from the man, humble, hardworking, good karma..
wow herman thats pretty cool,, history..

My grandad always told me that when you shake a man's hand, you shake it like a man, with a firm grip. Never trust a man with a weak handshake. So far he was right.
My favorite one though was "you can't talk to a communist, you can only shoot them".
Greatest man I've ever known.

it was clear as a bell to this day as i live and breathe in front of this pc.
in nevis for my uncles' wedding, he and i are driving past my grandmothers place and saw this 90+ year old diabetic woman up inteh tree of her front yard, with a "cutlash" (cutlass or machete for you laymen), trimming it.
uncle: "mama! wha de hell you doin?! i beg you, mek you come outta da tree please!"
mama: "if me naw a gwon do it den mek you tell a who else it gon be, eh?"
that statement has been the driving force behind how i view life: if i dont do it then who else will?
and there were also some "carpe diem" undertones to everything my grandmother said anyway
neve met anyone of my grand dads. but i just imagine that who ever knocked up either one of those broads (grandma's on mom and pops sides)had to be a damned special/ talented guy. roflmao

When I was very young gramps used to put the two fingers of one hand crossed over the two fingers of the other hand & then tell me to put my finger in there. Which he would then jab my finger with his hard thumbnail & tell me be careful where you put those fingers. I didn't understand until I got much older.
After being caught stealing from the local Glenn 5 & 10 he gave me a lightweight smack behind the head & told me, 'never steal anything small'
After having my first real fight in the street in front of the house & getting my butt kicked by another 15 year old he said, 'you fight like a girl' and then proceeded to teach me to fight, not box, but fight. And he was an old bar brawler and once told me you wouldn't believe the things I could do to you with just one finger.

My granddad died 15 years after he received a bullet to the head in WW2, but my grandma more than made up for his absence. She carried a 25 & a bible in her purse , once as a kid i saw her shot at my older cousins because they had spoken to her the wrong way!!! A hard woman who picked cotton since age 7, she would always tell me "baby dont be nobodys fool!"
Damn! We must be brothers or cousins!! Same exact thing on the handshake and it's true as well.
My perv of a grand dad told me. If I going to drive for a long time,put a cat tail on the hood. That way I wouldn't fall asleep chasing a piece of tail.
He also said .There's nothing better than more of it, also a orgasm is like a covey of quail flying out your ass.

my grandpa said you can only make a good tea with full fat milk, and that tramps on the street should be shot at dawn.

"old pappy",my great grandfather was born in 1869 and died in 1965 when i was 13. he gave me a knife and said to always keep it sharp because somebody might try to rob ye. my mother told me he killed a fellow who left his gate open and cattle got in his garden..dont know if that was true but everybody acted like they were scared of him..i didnt know it at the time but i'm sure he was senile on the end. told me that jesse james crossed the street to avoid him. lol...his son (my grandpa) was just the opposite. nicest man you ever met.

Mine died when I was pretty young. He didnt really leave any memorable words with me, but a few things he did have stuck with me since I was small.
1. he would grow a vegetable garden every year, 2: when he planted shrubs he'd throw a fish in the whole, and 3. he'd always spread cow manure in the garden.
