These come from my dad’s dad:

Apropos of nothing, my grandmother asks my grandfather “Jack, do you ever wonder if you could have done better than me?” My grandfather, sensing a set-up, replies “Nope.” He was right about the set-up. My grandmother pounced immediately, hissing “Why can’t I say the same?” Never taking his eyes off the television, my grandfather answered “You could if you were as big a liar as I am.”

My grandfather had one household chore to do: clean up dog shit in the yard. Everything else was relegated to my grandmother, my father or my aunt. Because he only had one job, my grandmother pounced on every opportunity to badger grandpa about it. “Jesus Christ, Jack! When are you going to clean up all of that dog shit, anyway?” she asked him once. He answered “Not yet. I’ve almost got enough for a new wife.”
