    Interesting.

    I remember back around 1970 or 71, we used to go to this bowling alley near Grandma's house when we came to visit.

    The smokes from this machine were 35 cents then.

    I was 7 or 8, just a little shaver, but I remember this because my uncle used to send me to the machine to get him a pack, then when I delivered them he'd give me a dime to go get myself an ice cream sandwich. Good times.

    I guess maybe the guy who owned the bowling alley wanted to keep the smokes cheap to make up the revenue in sales volume.

    Or maybe the price was set on the machine in the '50s, and no one could remember how to change it.:dontknow:

    Don’t trust anyone who won’t look you in the eye, or looks like their about to assault you.

    You think if I turned my cap to one side, or backwards, and walk to the counter like I got a burr in my boot, while nodding my head with one hand in my pocket would help?
    Or just get you arrested..?

    I’ve been asked by @Dadetrucking305 and a few others about Appweigh vs right weigh
    If you remember to calibrate the right weigh, it’s great.
    App weigh is easier to use, but the little watch batteries only last about 6-8 months.
    Here’s current load on right weigh.

    Be nice, quiet, and polite; but, always be prepared to kill every S O B you meet.

    Wife said, Honey, you shoot him because of (for what ever reason) and you will be put in jail.
    My answer; Honey, that is true. But if I shoot him, he will never be able to do that to someone else.
    Just my thoughts on the subject. Self defense may be coming back in a big way sooner than one
    might be expecting. I personally believe it can be accelerated, as some dip wad announces
    "I'm gonna kill you", take him at his word. life is too busy for a man to have to worry.

    All that be good, but if you dropped your pants to hanging on imagination, you'd be in. And no cop would touch you....
