Remember the ‘darts’ from then that were made out of a sewing needle, a no.3 pencil’s eraser and some small 1/2” by 1/2” pieces of thin milk carton material for ‘fins’? No rubber bands, we just hand tossed ‘em and they stuck into just about anything, including tops of heads of kids sitting in the front of the class! Tossed from the back of the class, if the dart was arched high up into the air just right and the aim was good....thunk!!! (It would be ‘THE CHAIR’ for that sort of stuff today!)

Uh, no Bobby, we don't.

What kind of school did you say you went to again?

Your USA basic public school system. (Not saying ‘darts’ was safe by any means btw.) It was a long time ago...things were different then. Do you remember the pocket knife throwing game most of the fellas played before school, at recess/lunch time and after school, wherever there was a decent patch of lawn? It was called ‘mumbly-peg’, (a few different spellings of that word I’ll bet), and the old boy scout pocket knife was the ‘weapon of choice’. Heck, we even had the playground teacher/monitor settle the ‘who’s knife was stuck closer’ silly arguments between players. Like I said, it was a while back and fun......but I would not want to go back for anything.
