For Grandpa

I would like to take a moment out of my day, and of yours, to remember my grandfather, John E. Mazan. He passed away October 15, 2008. He is 88 years old. He loves his family. He is a good man who wishes the best for everyone. He told me many times, and just recently, that he lived a long and happy life with my grandmother, Ruth. They have been married 61 years. I was lucky enough to be part of his life and will miss him very much. It is difficult to be away from home at this moment, however, I know he wouldn't have it any other way.

As many of you know, he loved to send jokes via email, I think it is only right to post what I think is one of his favorites:

There was a man and his wife working in their garden. The wife was in front of her husband...leaning over. He said to her, "Honey, your rear is wider than our barbeque." She said nothing. The man got up,went into the house and came out with a tape measure. He proceeded to measure her across the back side then the barbeque. He said,"See...you are two inches wider." She said nothing. That night they went to bed and the man started to get ornery...she pushed him away. "What is wrong?" he asked..."Well," she said..."You don't think that I'm going to heat up this big fat barbeque for one little weenie, do you?"

I think that he would like that you publicized that joke. I've got another one for you that he sent me in July of 07. I kept most of the emails he sent because he always tried to find a way to brighten a person's day. I hope you like this one as much as I did.

Baptizing A Drunk


A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. The drunk walks into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of booze. Whereupon he asks the drunk, "Are you ready to find Jesus?"

"Yes I am" replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, "Brother have you found Jesus?"

The drunk replies, "No, I haven't." The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again, but for a bit longer this time. He pulls him out of the water and asks again, "Have you found Jesus, my brother?"

The drunk again answers, "No, I have not found Jesus." By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30 seconds.

When the drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up. The preacher asks the drunk again, "For the love of God, have you found Jesus?"

The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?" lol


I hope you enjoyed that one as much as I did. :^{)- like my mustache...
