Grand Pop did have a sense of humor. One day there was a whole group of black men fishing in the canal and I saw Grand Pop walking towards them with a sly smile on his face and something in his hands that he was holding behind his back.
When he got to them he said "look at this" and dropped the biggest, fattest black snake I ever saw at their feet. The dead snake shivered as it spread out in all its glory. I still have to laugh when I think of those grown men jumping back and screaming.
