My grandpa lost his memory

when a horse kicked him.

Grandma Milco reckoned that

if a kick addled his wits

then another kick'd set him right.

Want me to kick him?

Sock him!

Step aside.

Stand back!

Why you hit me? Why, man?

Stop it, Ion! Stop it! It's alright.

It's all right, man, all right...

It's all right, boy.

Nothing, man.

Let's grab some chow.
