A Jazzy Xmas Special Pt. 1
Auto starts
Death: Great! So that’s how you saved Christmas.
Grampa: What are you talking about? That story was about the FBI and Communists.
Death: Close enough. Off we go to the afterlife. Come on, come on!
Grampa: I’m not going through pearly gate one until I tell you how I saved Christmas.
Death: Okay, fine! I’m an emotionless specter, but, boy, I am so going to enjoy killing you.
Grampa: It all started right after my wife Mona ran away. I was bussing tables at Spiro’s Jazz Den when I met a lovely lady named Rita Lafleur. She had legs that went all the way to the place next door… Gunther’s Polka Hole.

Grampa: I’d love to. But that reminds me. I *am* a daddy. Ohhhh. Just let me go home, stuff a burger into Homer, and get dressed up for a night on the town. Homer can put himself to bed.
Rita LaFleur: I love how you take a small amount of responsibility for your son.

Grampa: That’s why I’m asking you now, before you find out what I’m like on a date.
Rita LaFleur: Abe, I’m just out to have some fun. Let’s not ruin tonight with talk of marriage.
Grampa: Right. I’ll ruin it with talk about what I did in the war. Did I ever tell you about how I saved Christmas?

Death: How is that saving Christmas?
Grampa: Well, without Santa’s elf-made crap, parents had to buy genuine high-quality made-in-America toys. I saved the economy and kids got better presents.

Grampa: What are ya talking about? I wanna go. This world sucks. I mean, you should see the Retirement Castle where I live.
Death:I have, many times. I’m seeing Jasper there this morning. But you missed your chance. *climbing out window* Smell ya later!
Grampa: Aw, nuts. I’m still alive.
