I’m shaking my head in amazement that I have survived past three score and ten without dying in agony from the countless “dangerous” items I have been exposed to in my lifetime!

Our teacher in our 2 room, 4 grades school, set up on a hill amidst rock cliffs, would probably still be in jail for allowing 1st thru 4th graders to wander the tree-studded hilltop during recess and lunch time, picking all those wildflowers which were probably exceedingly poisonous or dangerous BY OURSELVES!!!! Indeed, the flowers we called “bloodroot” because they left “blood stains” on our hands when picked were especially no doubt lethal. It’s obvious some of the critters who think up these “tests” don’t have enough real work to do.

And we could have stabbed ourselves or others with those little removable pen points we actually had to insert in holders. And not a Government agent in sight! :) Probably won’t be able to sleep tonight worrying about it.
