Crazy Relativescurvylittlegoth writes, "My Grandma is crazy, crazy mad. As well as regularly putting curses on us all, she once fell asleep in the armchair on a sunny afternoon, Barley Wine in one hand, Peter Stuyveson in the other, only to wake up several hours later to a Darth Vader sounding fireman. She thought she was in HELL as the smoke and flames billowed round her..."
Are any of your relatives this loopy?

My cousin..is a Professor of Mathematics and Computing at a large University. He had his first degree by 20 and was a professor when he was 30.He is also (according to Mensa) within the top 5% most intelligent people in the country. He is brainy.
A few years back, we were at my Aunt's wedding. In the middle of the speeches (which were boring and largely in Serbian anyway, so being English, both ourselves and my aunt couldn't understand a word), he bought out a Sooty puppet, and started playing with it.
He actually did a good job of making the puppet look like it was interested. When asked why, he replied "Because Sooty hasn't seen a wedding before".
Then, there was my other, rather drunk Cousin. He'd decided he was going to walk home. Trouble was, the wedding was in Northampton (we had all arranged a place to stay), and he lived in Andover. I got charged with walking home with him. I headed off in the direction of my Aunt's house. "No", he said, "I want to go home". So, being near the M1, I pointed to the southbound carriageway. "Go down that, it's only around 200 miles. You'll be there in a month". Then grabbed him, and dragged him to my Aunt's.
