So today was my grandfather's birthday and we headed over to see him and my grandma; he was looking and sounding MUCH better today than the last time I saw him, so I'm glad for that.
But if there's one thing about my grandfather I can say...the man knows how to talk about nothing. You can make a pretty simple statement, and he'll go on for 10min about it. Case in point, he was drinking some ice water and I said "there's nothing better than a big glass of ice water". He proceded to take the next 15 min to explain why Michigan has the best water in the entire world. His theory? "In Michigan there's a lake every 5 miles, where ever you go. You could drive down 8 Mile for 5 miles and find a lake." ......
But anyway, today he was talking about the design of his house, and eventually them jews came up...
Granddad: Oh yes, this house is built sturdy. The roof on this house is at least 100 years old, and strong. But the problem is the house was made for jews
Dad: ...
Me: How so?
Granddad: Everything in this house is made with the jew in mind; all the houses in this neighborhood. The ceilings are low, even the toilets and baths are small so a little jew can get inside. The, the, the jews are little, you know? They aren't big like taller people.
Me: And Chinese people are even smaller
Granddad: You better believe it. The China man is small, but he don't build houses, he builds railroads
Me: Well if the Chinese built the railroads and they're smaller than the Jews, how come railroads aren't small like Chinese people?
Granddad: ...You know, I, I, I never thought of that. I never thought of that. The tracks should be small
Dad: ...
Granddad: But the jews built all these houses and then moved out the city, because they make a lot of money you see. So now the big black man and the big messican man is left with the little jew man's toilet seat, bathtub, and ceiling. *laughs*
Me: It's a shame
