A few of her earlier hits have been:
"HDW, when are you going to get one of them BIN-EE-KEES?" (bikinis)
While driving through downtown: "Oh, HDW. Tsk, tsk! Would you look at at all the GRAPHITE!?" (graffiti)
Talked to her earlier this evening, and she didn't let me down:
Grandma: I told them (the window people) that I wanted the stained glass window fixed.
Me: What's wrong with it?
Grandma: Oh, I see cracks in it, and I told them, "You come out and fix my window!". I've had to put TRASHBAGS over it - it's just a damn mess. So I tell them (insert long drag of a Winston cigarette here), "Look! Put some of that ... oh, what's it called ... put that POLYGRAPH over it and it'll be just fine!".
Me: You mean polyurethane?
Grandma: (another pause) Yeah, that. No wonder they didn't know what I was talking about. I didn't know either.
Me: Yeah, no wonder.
Close, but not really.
