In 1961, at the age of 14, I bought a box of 50 .22 shorts for 45 cents. No questions, no paperwork, no background checks.

You couldn’t do that with a slingshot, today, in the local BiMart.

In 1961, at the age of 20, I was stationed in Germany, and bought a CARTON OF CAMELS for 90 cents.

Today, a carton of Camels is over $ 90 Dollars in PA and over $100 in NY.

If you buy a carton of Camels in kalifornikator, they shoot you, but grass is free in the clinics.
