When I was six I had my tonsils out.

Since I’m really old, the anesthesia back then was really primitive. They just put a rag with ether over my face. It left a horrible smell and taste in my mouth.

To me Circus Peanuts have exactly the same taste and smell.

And yet there’s a customer base for them.

Markets talk...and sometimes swear.

I had Eye Surgery was I was Five. I still remember the Ether Mask (and the smell) on my face and I think there were at least four Doctors staring down at me while I was on the Table.

I was in the Hospital for almost a week and my Parents paid Cash for the whole thing. I think it was $500 Dollars or so. I’ll have to ask my Dad, he just turned 91 but he remembers all these little nuggets of information from way back when.
