ANCESTORS

We are curious about our "roots" as we grow older. We want to know about our family and genealogy. Sometimes it isn't pleasant to read about "Bad Dan Tanner," a notorious horse thief or Belle Thornton, a famous Madame. You never know what you will find when you search your family tree.

My ancestors came across the plains in a covered wagon. If you could see pictures of them you would know why the wagon was covered. UGLY!!

One of my great grandfather's was not only ugly, he wasn't very smart. He was so dumb he organized a loan company, lent out two million dollars and then skipped town.

He organized his own mafia. He tied his victims together by their heads and shot them in the hands.

He was so dumb that he was told to blow up a car and burned his mouth on the tailpipe.

No one liked him. His mother tied a pork chop around his neck so the dog would play with him..
Once at Christmas he got an electric train and two miles of straight track.

One day he went to school and when he came home, his family had moved.

One of my great uncles was very tired of life. One day his wife came into the house and saw her husband with a rope around his waist. He told his wife he was trying to commit suicide. His wife said, "You're supposed to put the rope around your neck!" My great uncle replied, "I tried that but I couldn't breathe."

An old relative wearing a stovepipe hat, a waistcoat and a phony beard sat at a bar and ordered a drink. As the bartender set it down he asked, "Going to a party?" "Yeah," my ancestor answered. "I'm supposed to come dressed as my love life." "But you look like Abraham Lincoln," protested the barkeep. "That's right. My last four scores were seven years ago."

Yes. Maybe would be best if we didn't know about our ancestors. It makes you realize why you are the way your are. Not pleasant.
