What leads to you believe I made it? A 1956 model. Had the hell beaten out and back into me many times. The teachers used to slap you areond then sent you to the office so the big man could get his wacks in. My dad drove bus so when he found out he thought" what the hell he's still walking". I don't know if it helped but I do know it did not hurt " well it hurt my ass" because I never spoke back to an adult with out expecting a great deal of pain to follow. It seems like if you were over 40 you had a license to beat any kid that you thought needed it back then. I had several people wack me around and then of course my dad thought " what the hell he's still walking. Oh yea they were the good old days. The truth be known we have cheated a whole generation of kids by letting then be stupid. I spanked my kids, and they know today that "Dad will pick up a tree and kill you" (bill Cosby). I am a better person because I was born when I was, It is just harder in todays world to make sure my kids will follow my lead. They better if they know what's good for them!
