"Tough Cowboy"

A tough old cowboy from Amarillo, Texas, counseled
his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the
secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on his
oatmeal every morning.

The grandson did this religiously to the age of 103.

When he died he left 14 children, 30 grandchildren,
45 great grand-children, 25 great-great grandchildren,
... and a 15 foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
