I was really disappointed when I found out the truth about my grandfather. When I was a little boy, I could listen to him speak for hours. One time he told me that the marks he had on his wrists, were from ropes when he was tied up for days at a time while he was a POW in World War II. I recently found out the marks weren’t  from rope burns, but were from handcuffs. And the closest he ever got to getting in the military, was his repeated arrests for robbing Salvation Army stores.

My grandfather passed away a long time ago. I don’t know if he went to heaven or hell, but wherever he went, he’s probably lying his butt off there too.
