A young man went to visit his 90-year-old grandfather in a very
secluded, rural area of the state he lived in. After spending the
night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs
and bacon. He noticed a film-like substance on his plate and he
questioned his grand-father. “Are these plates clean?” His
grandfather replied, “Those plates are as clean as cold water can get
them, so go on and finish your meal.”
That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for
lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of his plate, and a
substance that looked like dried egg yokes so he asked again, “Are you
sure these plates are clean?”
Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, “I told
you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them, now
stop being so picky!”
Later that afternoon, he was on his way out to get dinner in a nearby
restaurant. As he was leaving, Grandfather’s dog started to growl and
would not let him pass. “Grandfather, your dog won’t let me out.”
Grandfather shouted, “COLDWATER, GET OUT OF THE WAY!”
