Here's an old one....My grandpa used to give us a silver dollar when he came over. They were like bacon and dogs! We'd do anything for him to get that piece of silver....Every time it was the same routine. He'd say he didn't have anything on him then give us an old Depression-era expression. "All I got is Hoover's flags!" This was said while turning out his pants pockets to show they were empty.
