Gramps Ashes Where

'look what i found ma'...
"now thet there was yer gran pa's
fav'rit grave marker...

...don't go lose'n it"
'yuh mean gran pa made tombstones'
"no son...thet was his...

...so where'd'ya find it"
'top of the septic tank ma'
"and how'd it git there"

'tommy did it ma'
"did whut...just who is tommy...
...gawd no...where's dad's jar"

Love it! Such authentic recreation of the dialect, not to mention the hilarious content. Great one! ~ Gershon
