Fighting the Current

General Puns

One of my brothers is in Gettysburg for a school trip. My grandparents were over tonight to help with dinner. I was talking with my grandfather (who is a Civil War/bad joke buff) after dinner about the Civil War and I said something about what they were going to see and he replied, "I always took that for GRANTed." I groaned and countered with, "Do you really MEADE (mean) that?" He groaned and paused. I thought it was over. Then: "They'll get home soon if they don't stop for frozen CUSTER(d)." To which I said, "Oh, give them a little LEE-way." And he shot back, "As long as they don't STONEWALL."

I ran out generals at that point (and of course now I'm remembering them) and that died off. They were so bad, but it was a lot of fun.

I have to go finish studying for my algebra exam now.
