I was a Sprite of a Smerf when the Rag Man was around (maybe 3 or 4)

But the Milk Man was still around till I was a Pubescent Smerf.

Am I the only one that remembers home milk delivery and a horse drawn cart the rag man went around town in?

Penny candy and Woolworth's Banana Splits where you could break a balloon and get one for as low as a Nickel?

I remember the milkbox beside the back door. My mom would put the money and empty glass bottles in the box and the milkman would leave full bottles.

We had a knife sharpener guy who walked around the neighbourhood with a cart. He'd ring a bell, and if you had knives that needed sharpening, you'd just run out to the street and stop him.

regarding the knife sharpener guy, we still have that around here....rarely but he's around...

Our Rag Man did the knife sharpening too.

When you think about it, we had Butchers for fresh meat, Green Grocers for fruit and veggies. Markets sold sundries not everything.

The Dairy products were delivered to the house and mom could cook.
We had it good as kids.

My mom couldn't cook ... or clean ... so that all became my responsibility ... along with babysitting my younger brothers and sister without getting paid.

When I was a young Smerf I used to tell my mom she was a great cook and should cook in a restaurant.

When I got older I realized we went to crappy restaurants.

Tony's Pizza on Dundas East in London made the best bacon and mushroom pizzas ever. That was my family's fav restaurant when I was growing up.

My favorite growing up was Troidol's, a German Tavern located 2 doors down from us in 1964-65.
Was a great place run by a family. Heck even had a German Shepard that had the run of the place.
The first beer my Dad ever bought me was in there.

The owner retired in the mid 1990's so even my Baby had the chance to know it.

The niece of the Troiol's opened her own place in 1968, Scharfs
The food was much like her Aunt's but a bit more modern.
Now in its new location Scharfs still exists and is as good as ever.

I remember home delivery of milk and bread, but the horse drawn carts may have been a little before my time.

I remember how disappointed I was for years when I never saw a woman mailperson.

Don't ask why.

Have you ever wondered why

Have you ever wondered why

Have you ever wondered why it's OK to make jokes about Catholics, the Pope, Jews, Christians, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians), the elderly, bad golfers, men/women, blacks/whites, etc.

But its ”insensitive” to make jokes about Muslims?

Time to level the playing field and be “politically correct” by including the Muslims!

*Jeff Foxworthy on Muslims:*


1. If you refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to
liquor,

*You may be a Muslim.*

2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but you
can't afford shoes,

*You may be a Muslim.*

3. If you have more wives than teeth,

*You may be a Muslim.*

4. If you wipe your butt with your bare hand but
consider bacon to be unclean,

*You may be a Muslim.*

5. If you think vests come in two styles: Bullet-proof
and suicide.

*You may be a Muslim*

6. If you can't think of anyone you haven't declared jihad against,

*You may be a Muslim.*

7. If you consider television dangerous but routinely
carry explosives in your clothing,

*You may be a Muslim.*

8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than
setting off roadside bombs,

*You may be a Muslim.*

9. If you have nothing against women and think every man should own at
least four,
