I will give them all the lead they can carry for free.
How environmentally-unfriendly of you, not to mention racist! Don’t you know that lead poisoning was a huge problem in inner-city black communities? And now you want to inflict it on them again?
(do I really need the /s?)
Actually, a family friend’s kids both developed lead poisoning when the parents chemically/thermally-stripped the paint out of an old New England farmhouse back in the late 70s. They’re nice enough, but both kids had severe learning difficulties and pretty obviously have sub-90 IQ scores, despite mom and dad both being very intelligent. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Best of all, they won’t need pockets, purses, or even hands to carry it.
