Tonight, at dinner with Grandpa and the parents at Red Lobster (of course) grandpa says, "Suicide Bombers are a good thing. Everytime they blow themselves up there is one less suicide bomber." He wasnt joking, this was his actual theory. I had nothing to say at that point. Mom threw out, gingerly, "what about all the innocent people that are killed?" I focused in on my lobster tail. Top that for dumbest thing ever said.

If only grandpa had mentioned "Premature detonators..."

That's pretty stupid.
My own Father, when he recieved his new DVD player this Christmas, asked, "how do you rewind the DVDs? There's no rewind button on this damn thing!"

Then you should have told gramps: "If it weren't for all those suicide bombers, the dinosaurs would still be here."

That is dumb, but I've heard worse. I would give you examples, but I don't want to be accused of trolling. :)

Why do they call them "suicide bombers" when they commit Homicide? THey should be at least Murder-Suicide bombers.

I guess they are better than bombers that take the same number of lives and survive to lather, rinse, repeat...

Precisely. If you play the tune, you've got to pay the piper my friend.
