Sheesh, I first heard that joke when I served in the USAF in Galena, AS in 1957.

Hey, we are surrounded by children. They never saw Capt Kangaroo, or Captain Midnight, in B&W. I used to ride my bike to the dump with my .22 slung on my shoulder, and would shoot rats. I was 12. Today, I'd be arrested, along with my parents and grand parents.

I was only 6 in 1957, and vividly remember the '60 election, when Eisenhower made a campaign stop in Kankakee, Il. They had the school out to see the motorcade from Momence, and Ike went by at about 90 mph, on highway 17...

Still not sure which limo he was in. But it did leave a certain impression of where the masses of people and the government that supposedly served them actually ranked.
