You remember Jack Parr and Johnny Carson

When you remember that Radio Shack started out as Tandy Leather. BTW, the original Tandy Leather (I think its the original) is up and running in Albuquerque, NM

I use dollar coins to really confuse em!

When you understand Lloyd's latest forum entry - "This pop bumper doesn't shine for me anymore".

When you realize that you are old enough to be one corona virus cougher from dying.

Kind of off topic, but seeing those nose pliers reminds me of when my grandpa told me why he put nose rings on the hogs. (They were kind of free ranging.) The answer was to keep them from rooting and digging under the fence.

Ever since it became fashionable for people to wear nose rings I have visions of them trying to dig under a fence. I guess the rings are still effective, cause I've never seen one of them digging!

I'm waiting for notched ears to become fashionable, too.

TracDoc - I represent that remark!

The Chevy show used to be at Six Flags near St. Louis. It was a near permanent display. Loved going there when I was a kid. Great memories.

My birthday is this is week, and I’ve received my Medicare card. So, I am now officially an old man. All I have to do now is tell stories beginning with “Back in my day ...” and complain about aches and pains, then the package is complete.

You just described the attire I wear at the golf course

When you can remember the basis for the joke about "... letting the pages do the walking thru the yellow fingers."

Cotton - I don't remember the whole thing, just highlights.

There was a kingdom that had a spell placed on it by a witch - the spell was fashioned such that the people in the castle would starve because they could not go out to get food or water. The king sent out his bravest knights, and every time a knight would leave the castle, a giant hand with yellow fingers would drop down and crush the knight. This happened regardless of whether a single knight went out, or several. Anyhow, the king became desperate, and had run out of knights, so he decided to allow any person brave enough to try to get past the hand. A page volunteered to try, and to everyone's amazement, he was able to return with food and water. In fact, he did it several times and all the people in the castle were saved.

The moral of the story is to let your pages do the walking thru the yellow fingers.

Readypo - I know this is just urban lore, but I was told a bottle of Gatorade or pedialite about 8 - 10 hours after the second shot really helps. I drank a bottle of Gatorade, had no side effects at all, however, wifey did not drink any and felt bad for two days.

I’m not as strange as I seem

Speaking of engineering and toilets: I’ve always been scared to install a bidet. Something about plugging in a toilet seat into 115 VAC. Besides, how many people have an outlet behind their toilet? An extension cord just doesn’t sound right. I guess I’m old, too.

... when you know what a pisspot was and remember which window was used.

I had a friend who called his wife Quasar because she had her works in her drawers

Early Model T’s required you to drive up hills in reverse. There was no fuel pump and the fuel was gravity fed.

And spent their first night in separate hotel rooms.

When you remember “no breakable” records

Mcluvin - Supposedly that's why the original Schlitz beer went out of business. They started using xanthan gum to prolong the life of the beer in the cans, but after awhile, the gum would coagulate. When you poured out a can of beer, these balls of stuff would fall out. Really turned people off. Probably not the only reason they failed, but I'm sure it didn't help.

When you can remember leaving the drive in and you forgot to remove the speaker from your window before leaving.

I don't know about where you are, but you can drop off your used oil at oil changing places here in Illinois, as long as the place is open and its in a closed container.

When you remember using batteries like these

I was told in a class many years ago that the FCC busted them because a dog whistle was blowing in the background during the Chuck Wagon commercial. Folks would get excited because Rover suddenly paid attention to the TV during the commercial and would settle back down once the commercial was over.

I don’t have any reason not to believe it, but I’m pretty sure you can’t do that.

I still have the rolling paper in the Big Bamboo album.

The inside had candy pellets, the outside was a weird tasting wafer that kind of melted to your tongue. I didn't care for them that much, but I still bought them at the candy store.
