One of the reasons I like reading the obituaries is how interesting they often are...

I was recently reading the newspaper in the town where I grew up.

Being who I am, I went first to the obituaries, to see what I might find. I found one about an 89 year old woman, who had recently died at home after a long and full life.

And they mentioned that she had 112 grandchildren and 263 great grandchildren. I don't think I have ever seen quite that many before.

And you wonder why the Amish are one of the fastest growing denominations in the US?

My sister-in-law was reading one about a woman 102 who had died unexpectedly. I don't know that sort of struck me funny.
