A tough, old cowboy once counseled his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on his oatmeal every morning.

The grandson did this religiously and lived to the age of 110.

He left four children, 20 grandchildren, 30 great grandchildren, 10 great great grandchildren and a 50 foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
 
Good stuff!

Interesting sidenote: although handling it with bare hands can cause headaches and nausea, leftover gunpowder makes for good fertilizer!
