[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1926107, member: 68421"] I grew up pinching split shot lead sinkers onto fishing line with my teeth. I've been eating lead-bullet and shot-killed game for all of my 70+ years. We played with mercury when we could get it, and child labor involved driving tractors with boom sprayers through a mist of herbicide all day until our clothes were wet with the stuff. (years later we called it "agent orange.") Our dental visits gave us more mercury in our tooth fillings. We cleaned our hands with any solvent we could find. If we didn't have casts, slings, bruises, burns, rashes, critter bites and occasional concussions we just weren't playing hard enough or having any fun. A few of us died along the way; a few of us became escape artists (lucky) and some of us learned to calculate before taking risks. If we had minded all the rules, we would today be healthy and so full of **** and vinegar that today's kids couldn't stand us. "Hey, Grampaw has a new recipe for Black Powder! C'mon ... he's gonna teach us how to blow ourselves up!" [/QUOTE]
