I must admit that I love the German TV documentations a lot. I can't remember to have seen something similar in the US.But that might be my fault to have missed them.
I had a grandpa Joe. Funniest guy next to Red Skelton who grandpa reminded me of. Just as sweet and kind as Red too. I was a lucky girl to have him.

From Joe's wisdom ... "Feeble-minded means old, very, very old, doesn't it? Or like, "if somebody tells you something and you get mad, and you know, you throw things ... that would be crazy, wouldn't it?".

Hi mimi
I’m guessing, after googling and watching, it’s this documentary …

If this is Uncle Joe I'm glad to meet him.
From Joe's wisdom ... "Feeble-minded means old, very, very old, doesn't it? Or like, "if somebody tells you something and you get mad, and you know, you throw things ... that would be crazy, wouldn't it?".
How about this version of Uncle Joe?

You got it, I was learning about the first one
If politicians hold babies up in public I get cramps. Both of those uncle Joes did that.

Heh, I could only think of the second one,
natch, but that third one is great! Thanks.
be well and have a good one

Well, I am an uncle,
and my name is Joe. Does that count?
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
nope, unless you cuddle babies in public
to be an Uncle Joe politician, you are safe. A goody Unlce Joe so to speak.
