#2 I attribute this to a lack of parental guidance. When we were little, Ma always kicked our asses for playing with rockets indoors. Same with crew-served weapons.

#4 You had crew served weapons?

When we were little all we had was an AK-47 held together with duct tape and a box of old potato-mashers.

And we were grateful for that!

#6 potato mashers???

Old-skool German hand grenades. Looked like a tin can on a stick or a well, potato masher.

#7 but did you get to play with them indoors, Pappy?

Of course we did - what with the railroad tracks in our back yard and the state highway in the front.

Of course, with a cardboard box, it was just a matter of slapping some tape over the holes - tho we had to steal the tape from the steel mill. And we were damned grateful for it.

Oh, for an irrigation ditch to swim in our underwear in. That i s- if we'd had underwear...
