A tough old sheep shearer from the Outback gave some advice to his
grand-daughter.

He told her that the secret to a long life was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder onto her porridge every morning.

The grand-daughter followed this dictum religiously until her death at the venerable age of 103.

She left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren,45 great grandchildren, 25 great great grandchildren........,



.........and a forty metre hole where the crematorium used to be.

:-D :-D
