Karl is like Grandpa Simpson.

Often nonsensical, usually rambling, occasionally he gets it right.

One trick of his is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the
time he caught the ferry to Shelbyville. He needed a new heel for his
shoe. So he decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called
Shelbyville in those days. So he tied an onion to his belt. Which was
the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in
those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees
for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important
thing was that he had an onion tied to his belt, which was the style at
the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only
thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
