An aside:
'Dick' is my grandfather on my mother's side
'Mud' is my grandmother
Marilyn is my mother
The other characters are my mother's sisters.

I used them because my grandfather really liked to do strange jokes on people.
He would go to great lengths.  As an example, he bought a bottle of Mercury and
poured about 8 ounces into a cup and floated some nuts and bolts on it.  Then he
poured a bit of coffee on the top and showed it to my grandmother, "Mud, you
made the coffee too strong."

That should give you some idea.
