Skeletons...in the  Closet


Climbing my family tree was fun until the nuts appeared!

Do I even WANT ancestors? Some I found I wish I could lose.

Do I hear the rattle of chains?

Live so the preacher won't have to lie at your funeral!

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. -- George Bernard Shaw

 

"I didn't really want to get into genealogy! Kept putting it off! When I started within six weeks I had my father narrowed down to one of three or four people!" -- old joke

Damn! My family tree was just wood-chipped.

Do I need a Genealogical Search Warrant to see the records?

Ever find an ancestor HANGING from the family tree???

It's a poor family that hath neither a whore nor a thief.

It's hard to be humble with ancestors like mine!

Every family tree has some sap in it. Don't judge me by my relatives, I didn't choose them! I found a cuckoo's nest in my family tree.

How can one ancestor cause so much TROUBLE?


We've all got 'em . . . if you don't I'll lend you a few!!!!

  1. I would not allow this relative to breed.
  2. This relative is really not so much of a has-been as a won't be.
  3. Works well under constant supervision or when cornered like a rat in a trap.
  4. When she opens her mouth, it seems it is only to change whichever foot was previously there. He would be out of his depth in a parking-lot puddle.
  5. This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
  6. He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. This relative is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. This relative should go far....and the sooner he goes, the better. Has moss growing on her north side.
  7. Got into the gene pool when the lifeguard wasn't watching. 
  8. A room temperature I.Q. A gross ignoramus - 144 times worse than an ordinary ignoramus. Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it together.
  9. A photographic memory, but with the lens cap glued on.
  10. A prime candidate for natural de-selection. Bright as Alaska in December. 
  11. One-celled organisms outscore her IQ tests.
  12. Donated his brain to science before he was done using it.
  13. FELL out of the family tree.
  14. Gates are down, lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
  15. Has two brains: One is lost, the other is out looking for it.
  16. If brains were taxed, she'd get a refund. If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week. 
  17. If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'll get change back.
  18. He's so dense, light bends around him. If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean. Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, but she only gargled.
  19. Takes him 1 1/2 hours to watch 60 minutes.
