Good one LT.

Funny story about 'Earthquake'
My young pregnant wife and her grandma went to see the movie Earthquake. On their way out of the theater Grandma said to my wife: "If you don't have a boy I'll know why". Wife says: "Why Grandma". She says: "Cause that movie just shook the balls right off him".

Truly shocked my young wife. She came home and told me: "Grandma knows about balls". That tidbit had not hit her before. We both had a good laugh.
