Ah, Yes, Watertown, NY In The 50s I remember walking to the store with my mother and the snow that people had piled up on the sidewalk was sometimes 10-20 ft high. During the summer, the place was full of flies and moskitoes because of the river nearby and the dairy farms in the area. And for some reason, I have the happiest memories from there: diving with my sister in the huge piles of dry leaves in the fall, arguing with my brother that he shouldn't put rocks inside his snow balls at school, overhearing my father saying that no way he was going to shovel the driveway, my mother better call a service...
I cut a guy off in Watertown one day. It was so cold, he gave me the mitten. It was so cold, Brittney Spears put panties on. I wanted to flash this broad, but instead, I ran up to her and described myself.
It was so cold the lawyers had their hands in their own pockets⦠the prisoners were BEGGING for the electric chair my balls have became ovaries.
So my Dad called this "service", and this broad came out, all dolled up, huge cans, cfm shoes( PM me Don, I'll tell you what they are), and she says to Pop, for 25 bucks ( this is the fifties, remember,) I'll do anything, I mean ANYTHING you want." So the old man, no slouch himself, hands her a snow shovel.
......the homeless were burning copies of "An Inconvientant Truth" to stay warm. .........nutmeg tried to get the clap for that burn feeling. .......the Bush twins joined up, and volunteered for Iraq.
25 bucks was almost three days pay at the mill. I made 36 bucks a week and 6 went to uncle sam. Your dad must have had his own baclava factory.
...the hookers are charging 20 bucks just to blow on your hands ... the steam off of my head created a war between two Indian villages.
my mother just told me in 51 or 52 my dad made 29 bucks a week. That's an amazing stat. They had envelopes where every week they put the dough in. You've got a couple years on me, but I'm sure you remember. and in 56, btw, we got a second car. Amazing how wel we lived with a little bit. These came out pretty good. I feel like Carson... "it was sooooooooooooooooooooo cold................................
