Now, this story really happened. It is absolutely the truth, so help me God and drive a rail spike in my eye if I'm lying. I'm not even going to spice it up one bit.
My first wife's father was one of eighteen children, all single births. That's right, 18 children. I once went golfing with her grandfather. He was 89 and shot an 8 handicap. Far better golfer than I ever would hope to be.
While playing our round of golf, I asked, "Red, Why did you have so many children?"
His reply was" Well, Bob, the train came through at precisely 3:22AM every night. It was too early to get up and too late to go back to sleep."
Blame it on the railroad.
