Great stories Frank, Back when I was representing a little local charity in my area I spent a lot of time playing nursing homes and special education classes in our school system. So I'll share a couple of my own if you don't mind.

In one of the nursing homes there was this grumpy old gentleman that I would have a lot of fun with from time to time. He always initiated the conversations, one went like this: I was setting up and he said he could tell a lot about me from just watching me. I said oh yes, what can you tell? He said you like music, I responded, with a smile and a grain of sarcasm, wow you got that just by looking at me take my “guitar” out of it's case? I proceeded to attach the skirt (which had a few wrinkles in it) around my laptop stand and he said, “I can also tell your wife is too damn lazy to iron, how bout that one smart ass"?

On another occasion I decide I would pick at him first and asked him if he was ever going to get out of that chair and help me set up for one of my gigs. He answered, what ya gonna pay me? I said, I'll pay you half of what I make. He replied, “that sounds fair what you make”? So using my thumb and forefinger I made the “0” sign about two feet from his face and without missing a breath he shouted, “you're a damn fool”!

If this becomes a topic I will share many more.

Later,
