32. I thought they got rid of Polio when I was a kid |
|
I'm 53 and I remember whole towns where all the citizens would meet at the school gym and everyone got a little plastic cup to eliminate polio completely..
My cousins, and even my young wife have the polio shot scar tho, mine never took, no scar, they said I was already immune or something..
But I remember kids when I was small in iron lungs and Forrest Gump super leg braces, etc..
Sorry to hear that, you must have been one of the few that actually caught that shit, eh? Man.. I really thought they'd wiped it out..
Yeah, I'm old enough now to start thinking about disintigrating before my own eyes, the ultimate cruelty, you get to Watch as you decompose..
Even more fun having a baby at 53, was that ever stupid, tho I'm enjoying every second of the little critter, I'm still going to end up like Carlin's old joke, "The 72 year old father of an Eagle Scout.." :) I can't keep up with him now and he's only Crawling..
Blues Harp, eh? Hope to jam some day - EarlG plays the bass, I play guitar - starting to look like a DU band to me..
Maybe we could all lay down a track and send it off to each other to put their part on it and create a DU "Band" recording :)
