11. Took me a second:

"I was working in a nursing home and there were two old ladies, both residents, who had beef with each other. One lady said to the other: 'I'd kick you where the sun doesn't shine, but I'm afraid I'd lose my shoe.' It took me a second to figure out how dirty she was being."

"One day after school, a friend and I were looking at our school photos that we had just gotten back. My great-grandma walked in the room, took a look at my friend's photo, and said, 'Well, at least you know to never do your hair like that again.'"

16. You know what:

17. But, first:

"One of my cousins was planning her wedding, and she told my great-grandmother that she wanted a strapless dress. My lovely great-grandmother said, 'You better get some tits first.'”

20. I got this:

"My great-grandma was in the hospital, and when she got up to use the bathroom her nurse asked, 'Catherine, do you want help?' My great-grandma said, 'No, I don't need your help. I've been wiping my own pussy for 90 years.'"
