And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Was just teaching my grandson how to make those & to play with them. He said that I must have had the most boring time growing up. Yes young man we did. Ha .
We had such SIMPLE lives - good thing we had GIRLS (REAL ONES) to liven our lives! Well, I guess some girls may have played "football" or "put an eye out" like we did so they had us guys! My wife says she's amazed at how I'm satisfied with the "little things"! I tell her it's no secret - when I grew up we didn't even HAVE little things!
Micheal H. in 7th grade French used to make "Wads of Wah". He'd chew on chunks of loose leaf paper (tasty I'm sure ). It would look like the splat of a rotten pumpkin when he let those fly. You didn't wanna be hit by those things or you were turned into human paper mache.
In one English class a couple guys would sit in the back of the room and shoot spit wads at the old woman teacher. There'd be 6 or 8 stuck to the blackboard.

ReplyDeleteThat's the way my dad did it, but mine were rolled. I was pretty accurate on a moving bike.
ReplyDeleteLearned to fold them square too.

Folded and pressed so tight a field goal could put an eye out.
