Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Grandpa with a voice so loud, he can wake the neighbors from their afternoon nap!

There was a family gathering at the house of an elderly grandfather known for his booming voice. The whole family had come from near and far to celebrate his 80th birthday, and they were all excited to spend time together.

As the festivities began, the grandfather's voice echoed throughout the house. No matter where you were, you could always hear him. It was like his vocal cords had a built-in loudspeaker.

During dinner, as everyone sat around the table enjoying a delicious meal, the grandfather's voice could be heard booming from the other room. "Pass the potatoes!" he bellowed.

His son-in-law, who was sitting closest to him, jumped a foot in the air, startled by the sudden outburst. He turned to his wife and said, "I can't believe your father's voice can be heard even from another continent ! It's like he has superpowers!"

His wife chuckled and replied, "Oh, you have no idea. When we were kids, his yelling could be heard from miles away. It was like living with a human megaphone."

Curious about this legendary voice, the son-in-law decided to test the limits. He grabbed a slice of cake and quietly tiptoed into the backyard, making sure to position himself as far away from the house as possible.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hey, Grandpa! How's the cake taste?"

To his surprise, he heard his father-in-law's booming voice reply from inside the house, "It's delicious! But you should bring me a piece!"

The son-in-law couldn't believe it. He ran back inside, eager to share his discovery with the rest of the family. As he burst through the door, he shouted, "Guys, you won't believe this! Grandpa's voice is so powerful that it can even reach the backyard!"

Everyone turned to him, laughter filling the room. His sister-in-law chimed in, "Oh, we've known about that for years! During summer barbecues, we would always take turns sending Grandpa to shout at the neighbors to turn down their music!"

The room erupted in laughter as the family shared stories of Grandpa's booming voice and the hilarious situations it had created over the years. From making entire supermarkets go silent to starting a car alarm by simply saying hello, Grandpa's vocal prowess was the stuff of legend.

As the laughter subsided, the grandfather smiled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. He leaned back in his chair and said, "Well, I've always believed in living life to the fullest, and I suppose that includes making some noise along the way!"

And with that, the family raised their glasses to toast the yelling grandfather, appreciating the unique joy and laughter he brought into their lives.

if you ever happen to visit the neighborhood, take a stroll in the park. Listen carefully, and you might just catch a chorus of laughter, led by the one and only Grandpa Lou, the yelling maestro who turned decibels into a symphony of hilarity. And if you ever need a human loudspeaker or want to have a conversation across the block, just invite Grandpa to the party. His booming voice will make sure everyone hears him loud and clear!

Why did Grandpa decide to become a radio DJ?

Because with his booming voice, he didn't need a microphone, just a radio tower to transmit his voice to the world. he believed that exercising his vocal cords was the best way to stay in "yell-th!" Plus, he was always looking for a way to share his booming voice with others so he started yelling club.
