Many of you may know towns similar to the one Grandma lives in. It probably hasn't changed much since she first came here as a girl, many decades ago. Midwestern, semi-rural, backwards, and a bit red-necky. Some folks here call it Dogpatch - affectionately or not.
Just to illustrate - I was in the grocery store today waiting behind an old codger checking out. The checkout girl -- yes, girl, probably all of 18 -- concluded the transaction and asked the old guy if he wanted his receipt.
His reply? "It's not big enough to wipe on, so you might as well keep it."

Oh my! That's ok, I'm headed to Norfolk for Thanksgiving... Land of gunracks and buttcracks!!! They're family though, wouldn't change a thing for the world. :) Sounds like you're having a great time, glad to hear it!
That is one of the funniest quotes I've ever read. Thanks for sharing!
Be safe out there...
That is a great line - so crude (but funny). I'm going to South Bend later this week.
