| This is actually a footnote to the reference to "prophylactics" in the last story about cherry bombs. On the subject of the latter, on very rare occasions on the afore-planned and MUCH anticipated "BIG DAY", I used to pay an outrageous sum of money to clandestinely purchase a "Balloon" (Yes, I KNEW what they REALLY were) on the "Black Market" from a high school kid of questionable moral character, in a well-hidden and remote location during recess at school. Just like the cherry bombs, we NEVER used them for ANY of their intended purposes. One thing we used to do was to fill them almost to their bursting point with water and throw them at passing trucks! (Baby Boomer Alert: Don't you wish that was the ONLY thing we had to worry about our kids or grandkids clandestinely purchasing from a high-school kid these days!) |
