You don't know jack shit. Here's some help. Follow along.  Some interesting
history follows. :)

Jack Schitt

The lineage is finally revealed. Many people are at a loss for a response
when someone says; "You don't know Jack Schitt."
Now you can intellectually handle the situation.

Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt.

Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt,
the owner of the Needeep N. Schitt, Inc.
They had one son, Jack.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt.
They produced four children named
Dip Schitt, Holie Schitt, Fulla Schitt, and Giva Schitt.

However, after being married 15 years,
Jack and Noe Schitt divorced.
Noe Schitt later remarried Ted Sherlock and since her kids
were living with her she wanted to keep her previous name.
She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.

Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loada Schitt and
they produced a son of nervous disposition named Chicken Schitt.

Two of Noe's four children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt
were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently
married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.
The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the 
Schitt- Happens wedding. The Schitt-Happens had four children
named Dawg, Byrd, Hoarse, and Bull.

Bull left home to tour the world and returned with 
his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

So, now when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt",
you can correct them.

This family history was recorded by Crock O. Schitt.
