For those who don't get the grandfathers question: Milton Jones is an English comedian who sometimes tells jokes about family members and then follows up with "My other grandfather ..." multiple times.
> About a month before my grandfather died, we covered his back with lard. After that he went downhill very quickly.
> My other grandfather invented the cold air balloon but it never really took off.
> My other grandfather was a peeping tom. He used to drill holes in the floor and spy on the people in the flat below. He died recently, but I like thinking about him up there somewhere, looking down on us.

I'm also still eagerly awaiting @verbose's one-minute review of Ogborn & Buckroyd's Satire...
@CowperKettle Is the last line of that poem in Chinese 草泥马 (grass mud horse)? That was a Chinese internet meme that came up in 2009.
