Most us rebels are smart enough to duck when Dads throwing bricks,
you just had to keep on your toes when he had a pair of channel locks,
or was playing with the cattle prod.

My old man was a pretty good shot.... he clipped my younger brother on a
full run with the lid of a tin garbage can. When I was 10 and argueing that
I "needed" a certain fishing rod.... he explained the difference between
"need" & "want" by holding my nose and mouth closed so I couldn't breathe...
as I was turning blue he calmly explained that while I "needed" air to
breathe.... I only "wanted" the fishing rod! That got the point across in a
hurry! I remember lipping off my Mom just once..... the next thing I knew I
was cartwheeling across the kitchen and when I came to a stop in the pantry
his finger was pointed at my face and demanding I apologise.... I was
grounded for a week with extra homework.


Another of his favorates was to grab you and then he would grab the
electric fence.

Aw hell we used to con the city boys to **** on the electric fence!


Oh for the good ol days

They raise wimps today...... and blame the parents for problem kids while
not allowing them to disipline their children.
