The good old belt dance. Can't do that anymore ... but you can send them to school for gender reassignment.

We had those too. Used to have shoot outs with the girl across the street. Instead of asking her out on a date, my dumb ass was too busy popping her with BB's.

I always say my first job was working on a farm, bailing hay and straw for $2.50 an hour. I was 11 years old.

My first business was trapping and selling muskrat pelts when I was in second grade, which I guess made me about 8 years old.

I used to get $1.00/pelt. The guy who bought them from me would pay $2.00 if I delivered the pelt only. After trying to skin one of them critters once, I thought taking the $1 cut was worth it. I lived between two creeks and the area was crawling with muskrats.

Haven't seen one in years though.

Same as pheasants.

When I was a kid, they would sell us cigarettes with no problem. One corner grocer would keep a pack of Wings open and sell them to us 2 for a nickel.

When I was a kid, I bought them out of a cigarette machine for 25 cents a pack.
