My grandpa would always randomly yell Jumpin Jehoshaphat whenever it was quiet in the house and I thought it was the most hilarious thig ever.

May he RIP.

My grandmother would say

"Well.. kiss my arse Miss Lucy." or

"Kiss my arse and bark at the spot."

For some reason she didn't like Terry Bradshaw and everytime he came on tv she would say " You stupid fool."

You can decide if you want to make a living with a strong mind or a strong back.
