    Well.. kids are not likely to know the building, never mind just what a cribbage board is for.

    Yes, there is an outhouse in that pic. And yes, there is a crib board as well

    That’s how my 1960 Corsair works. It was my first car and was 35 years old when I bought it. Still have it. Ok unfortunately it has just been sitting in the garage for the past 15 years. Ironically my oldest of the 4 kids is 15. I’m sure there’s no correlation

    They are making it again. And it sure is gross. Never had one before and someone told me to try one a couple years ago. I actually spit it out! So gross.

    An aside to this one..

    I always tell people there was no such thing as Attention Deficit Disorder when I was growing up.

    A good cuff to the back of the head & Dad had my full attention.
    :rofl: :lol:

    Seeing that reminds me about asking a city kid if he knows the difference between a pump handle and a cow's tail. When he says no, tell him you would hate to send him to get water:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Still use the one at the cottage (outhouse, not cribbage board!)

    The indoor toilet is for nights and the "princess". I don't think she has ever used the outhouse.

    I used a "P-38" or sometimes called a "John Wayne" can opener in the service and for many years after I discharged out.

    I'm a Wheel Horse "collector". More of a user with a few tractors.

    What sort of reaction do you think you'd get if asking a young one for a church key?

    They'd probably ask "What's a church?"
