My dear Grandmother used to scare the carp out of me saying that if I didn't behave she would give me to the ragman. When the ragman came down the street on his horse drawn wagon, I'd hide in the back yard. Wonder how grandmothers today scare their grandkids?

My mother told me that the number of swirls on top of one's head correlates to how many appendixes you had. I had three swirls so even after getting rid of one appendix at 10, I still had to wait to go play 1/2 an hour after eating, to prevent my other appendixes from bursting.
