A 2-3/4" tall vase I won
playing Pull the String when I was a little-bitty girl. I kept it in
my bedroom. When I moved out, my mama saved it for me for all those years. I suppose it's a rather worthless piece of junk, but it's priceless to me now. |

Autographed Movie Star Cards, such as these, were available at a vending machine within the Penny Arcade. They were cardboard black and white cards, measuring 3-1/4" by 5-1/4", with blank backs, and were dispensed (I think) at the rate of about eight for 50 cents. | |||||||

OHHH! What NAUGHTY boys you were!!! I think I'll be okay in a bit, but I'm not sure; I laughed so terribly hard at this one! Thanks, Dave! |
Dave, That is a hilarious story about setting up the victim at the Penny Arcade. Only a bunch of youthful young men could dream up such a set up. I bet you all laughed for weeks after that, and perhaps are still laughing. It sure got me going today. Too much!!!!
Take care,
Joe
