Uncle, it's been 8 years and for the last 2 years, I have been trying to think of something nice to say about you.  Other than, you were a great storyteller and your jokes were hilarious.  My favorite was the "Signifying Monkey".  Wow, no one could tell a joke or story like you.  Other than that, you had a very serious character flaw.  

There is a saying Uncle, a fool at 40 is a fool forever.
