Pulled it out of my closet stash. Wonder how much I can get for it?

    I was in the play Lil Abner back in Jr. High and one of my favorite parts of that production was this exchange (residents of Dogpatch were trying to search for things that made notable contributions to society):


    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Better than a corn Cobb. No wonder those folks in the early days of photography looked so sour.

    I mentioned in an earlier post that I had a lot of these old jingles from advertising stuck in my head going back many many years.   Reading Susie's Sears catalog brings back "The Softer Side Of Sears"  :#

    The old sears catalogs were the best. When the glossies came out they became John Wayne  T-paper

    I remember many times in Grandpa's outhouse sitting there and crumpling up pages of the catalog so they wouldn't tear you a new one when you wiped. If you crumpled them long enough, they actually got pretty soft.

    If using corn cobs the ratio was 3 red cobbs to 1 white . The white was to check if you needed to run another red thru the chute !

    Yep, missing pockets, hankies, long sleeves turned into short sleeves, or at least one sleeve. After awhile you learned to take off each sleeve evenly..

    My wife used to ask me where the other half of my bandanna was.

    Back in 1969, I got stuck pulling guard duty at an airbase in England. It was winter and I was out near the end of a runway. Earlier at chow I had a noodle casserole made from C-Rats, and it had worked through my system...quickly. I walked back into the tree line and dropped my drawers....at the time I didn't think about TP. Now it was an issue. At first I started to take off a combat boot and planned on using a sock. At the last minute I decided to use my gray GI Air Force scarf. It was real wool and very comfortable. I threw it up on a tree limb. Every so often I would drive by the area in an Air Force pick up....the scarf was still there up to eight months later...
