Half the kids from my era would have criminal records for shooting spit wads through Bic pens.
I would have been imprisoned as a terrorist.
I invented the spit-wad CANNON. Take your BIC pen, tape over the hole on the side. Obtain a piece of wire about 9 inches long, place it inside the tube, and bend it into an L (for a handle).
Take spitwad, insert and pack at bottom of tube using the wire. Get another spitwad, and using the wire - ram it while pointing it. The air inside the tube will compress, shooting the first spitwad a considerable distance, and your ramming spitwad will be the next projectile.
Makes a little ‘pop’ when fired. Very fun and entertaining.
Dang, more and more, I wish we could go back in time to when we weren't so scared of our shadows......and lawsuits!
Right, and you had to hold you finger over the side hole for better pressure.
One of the after school detention activities was going through the classrooms and removing all the paper wads stuck on the ceilings and walls.
We seemed to survive OK.
“shooting spit wads through Bic pens.”
Blast from the past!
You won’t think it’s so funny when these gustapo type NAZI Obama voters come for your guns and put you in a re-education camp.
They’re just learning how to beat the system with the kids.
These days spit wads would have you in federal prison for biological warfare if you were sick.
