[Lame attempt at humor based on the Civil War]

A trio of old veterans were bragging about the heroic exploits of their
ancestors one afternoon down at the VFW hall.

"My great grandfather, at age 12," one declared proudly, "was the youngest
drummer boy at Gettysburg."

"Mine," boasted another, "helped load the cannon at Ft Sumter that started
the whole war 150 years ago today."

"I'm the only soldier in my family," confessed vet number three, "but if my
great grandfather was living today he'd be the most famous man in the
world."

"Really? What'd he do?" his friends wanted to know.

"Nothing much. But he would be 168 years old."
