My godson sent me an e-card he made all by himself. You see, on our last visit, I taught him all about the Tube Bar.
He was delighted when I told him it had been in Jersey City, where he was born. "Did you walk me by there when I was a baby?" he asked. Oh, a child after my own heart!
I was in Elizabeth, New Jersey once in 1975. It smelled like rotten eggs, and there was sporadic gunfire. If I was in Jersey City, I've repressed the memory.
Pranks were fun then! Today the news comes of pranksters calling motels in the dead of night...the caller asks the desk to be connected to a rented room then the caller shouts into the phone, "This is the desk! There's a fire! Hurry, smash the fire sprinkler and throw a chair threw the window!"
A marine did just that...damage was $54,000....sheeeeeet!

Tell me about it! I had to explain to the poor kid "It was back in the old days, before caller ID and *69."
