Gramps Puns

Old timer

"This is my hip replacement!"

GRAMPS: Is somebody here? Tell him to come in.

While helping my grandfather set up his computer I asked him if he knew what a USB was

"Of course I do! It's the country after USA"

(Pointing) That place is so popular, people are dying to get in.

Me and my brother had just sat down on the couch visiting our family in California (from michigan) we weren't there for 5 minutes.

Grandma: Yeah squigies Mack plays guitar now too!

Me: Really? We should definitely jam soon then!

Grandpa in stride walking towards the door: I'll bring the toast

This is my future

He passed a few years ago. But he's still one of the funniest people I've ever met. The funniest thing he's ever said was at a pharmacy.

An attractive young lady was working behind the counter. She was wearing a pair of tight jeans. My grandfather walks up to her and says "Geesh, how do you get in jeans like that? ... Should I buy you a drink first?"

He was awesome. I wish I had half the game he did.

So while sitting around singing happy birthday to my niece.

Family: about to sing

Gramps: "Shhhh"

Family: blank stares

Gramps: "my leg is asleep, you'll wake it up."

Me: Gramps, it says Butternut Snap Cookie

One day I'm sitting talking to Gramps when another patient suddenly starts running around the room with his fists out in front of him as if riding a motorcycle, screaming "Braaaaaaaaaap, Braaaaap, Braaaaaaap." My Grandpa yells at him: "Goddamit Bill, Stop that!!!"

Me: I know right? The guy makes one hell of a racket!

Grandpa: I don't even mind the noise so much, its the damn smoke that gets to me!

So my dad (known as gramps) has taken my kids for a week for a fun summer vacation. While they were all eating at a restaurant, he texted me a conversation that took place:

Kid: "How do I know when my chocolate milk has expired?"

Gramps: "Look at the cap."

Kid: "Wow, they got this at best by!"

MY grandfather was more like a father to me during my teenage years. I miss him everyday, especially today! I need to share his favorite saying and I find myself saying it often. Whenever someone said something that wasn't very smart or did something well stupid, my grandfather would immediately chime in:

"If brains were dynamite you wouldn't have enough to blow your damn nose!"

Miss you Gramp! Happy fathers day out there

I was trying on some really old pants, and this particular pair of pants were fucking tight. Like, squeeze my soul out tight.

I remarked- " Good god, when did we buy these? 1947? (I usually say this when I'm talking about something old. Independence and whatnot)

And my dad goes " Yeah. Your gramps passed it on to me, and now its yours. That's why they're called Jeans."

My mom got annoyed.

You guys probably got this one. Every time my Dad and I drove past a graveyard he always had two go-to jokes.

1. Dad: See that place (pointing). People are dying to get in there.

2. Dad: See that place (pointing). People living within 10km's of this place can't be buried there.

The Recipient: Yeah? Why not?

Dad: Because they're still alive!

At least when he starts the joke I never know which one it will be.

To which she was so kind,

And everywhere that Mary went,

You could see her bear behind.

Dad and Gramps love this one.

I little boy asks his grandfather, “Grandpa, can you make a noise like a frog?” Gramps says, “I think so, why are you asking”. The little boy says, “My mom said when you croak, we can go to Disneyland”.

So, my grandfather by the name of Leonard might lose his foot soon, due to diabetes/infection. Not at all hilarious, sure, but me and him have an awesome sense of humor. He lost his toe a few weeks back and I asked him if they placed it in a jar. He said, "No, they made it into stew."

My mother was less than pleased with our toe jokes but that was not the groaning moment.

A series of texts about my grandfather losing the entire foot ensues between my uncles, mom, sister and I. It went like this:

Me: If gramps loses his foot, in the worst case of scenarios, how would I go around asking the OR to put it in a jar? (directed to my sister who's a nurse)

Mom: OMG. Bad.

Sister: Ew. Lol.

Sister: http://giphy.com/gifs/jar-AuSAduPrXkDgk

Me: Oh man, if in forty years I'm ever at a family reunion all drunk, I'd be doing that. "Come my niece/nephew/grandchild! Speak of all your woes to the foot!"

Mom: STOP! Bad Grandchild!

Sister: You need a nap.

Me: I'd put the foot in an estate so that it can be passed down for many generations. It'll be the GrandPAW of Leo!

Mom: OMG

Sister: Ha!

So I am going on my first international business trip and it is to Switzerland. I receive a text from gramps out of the blue, "I heard you are going to learn how to yodel. Say in a high pitch voice 'a little old lady who!'"

me: Facepalm. "Love you too Grandpa"

Me:"What have you been up to lately?" Gramps:"About 5 foot 11."

Me: hey gramps, how's it going? Gramps: It has to go!
