I like my grandparents sense of humour
Two of my grandparents died before I was born and the other two died when I was very young, so i dont have too many memories or gems to relate apart from two.
My maternal nan once showed me a trick to play on my mum.
I think I must have been 6 or 7.
Sitting in the kitchen eating crisps with my nan when a big bumble bee flew in.
My nan caught the bee and put it in the crisp packet, twisted the packet closed and popped it into the dresser drawer.
Later on my mum asked if anyone knew where ( I forget what) was?
Nanna with a wink at me said 'yes its in the dresser drawer'
Mum then opened the drawer and screamed when a big angry bee flew out.
Seems the crisp packet had slowly unwound releasing the bee into the closed drawer.
I remember my nan roaring with laughter while my mum squealed and swatted.

My paternal grandad passed away when I was 8.
He was the absolute cliche of Werther Original grandads with a rocking chair, baccy pipe, antimacassars on the settee and Staffordshire Dogs on the mantelpiece.
Left in his care one day , he fed me some of his precious pomfret cakes and tried to teach me to play dominoes, he even got me to take a toke on his pipe and laughed wheezily when I spluttered and coughed.
Then he leaned forward and with a conspirational crook of the finger whispered 'listen to this'
And lifted up his buttocks and farted loudly with a giggle.
Being a nipper I found this funny until the stench hit me and I yelled 'Grandad!"
He then said something that I can only remember a bit of, but has always stayed with me
'Wherever you may be, let your wind roam free"
'In church or in chapel , let it rumble and rattle'
There was more Im sure but I just dont remember it and google hasn't helped

Lovely, lovely memories.
I hope that is going to be a generational fart joke.
