Yankeeirishman: it goes something like this:
A few years ago DK put Jean's camper on his pickup and they headed south with Grandma in tow to show her the great boojums. Late one night, after
spending a week in the desert, they discovered that Grandma had died in her sleep. In order to avoid the obvious hassle of going to the authorities,
they simply zipped her up in her sleeping bag, tied her on top of the camper and high-tailed it north. After driving all night, they stopped for a
quick breakfast of bloody marys in Ensenada to steel their nerves before crossing the border. When they came out of the cafe, they discovered their
truck, camper and grandma had been stolen - never to be recovered to this day. Of course, one wonders at the reaction of the theives to their
eventual discovery.......

Bob and Susan.....
True or Not?....
Well one part is true. the camper mounting... Have you ever seen "National Lampon's Vacation"
After that? You might get an insite to Santiago's humor if you do a search and look for "Women Burn Down Bahia" that he posted a few years ago (Bad
boy Santiago, BAD!) actually it was quite funny, but caused some confusion.....I wouldn't normally talk for David K. or Jeans, but I know he's headed
for Baja, and Jeans is otherwise occupied. And Santiago is just too funny to not to give a responce to.

Like many threads on this board, it veered drastically off course.
Santiago - Am I going to have to follow your posts around to see what you write about me? At least get your facts straight...It was my aunt!
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

Mr Means, of course, spotted the similarities to one of Fred's stories. I first heard this urban lengend in the early 90's (that would be 1990
Neal) and the rendition was so complete that I believed it and passed it on as fact many times. It was Oso, I think, on the old Amigos Board that
exposed this other legends as just that. To this day what few friends I do have never miss a chance to bring up how I was fooled by this story.
