    Now this is my kinda Granny!



    Here's a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent interaction between
    an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in a Metro station in DC.
    There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one.

    An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young ( 20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.

    The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship
    and in a very soft voice said, 'Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq ?'

    The old woman looked up at her and said, 'Honey, my father died in France during
    World War II, I lost my husband in Korea , and a son in Vietnam.

    All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country.
    If you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your a$$ and open it.'

    Very funny, but did she actually bad mouth our country?

    Doesn't matter - Umbrella up the wazoo is always good for a laugh, especially from an elderly woman.
