3. LOL! It was rough, waiting for the lightning to strike...
...so you could get some! Then you had to keep it lit all the time, carry the embers around from camp to camp in two turtle shells closed on each other. Geez, they even had a JOB for that. That was actually the first technology-driven job loss...the fire carrier! Even the unions couldn't keep them employed after some wiseguy told everyone rubbing two sticks together would make it! And the guy didn't even patent the invention...just GAVE it away!

9. he tried issuing a "new model" every year
but it just didn't work.

"This year's fire is different!"
"how? It looks the same to me?"
"It's more orange!"
"Looks like last year's, kind reddish"
"no, no, it's more orangey, especially around the edges! see!"
"nope, thanks anyway, I think I'll keep last year's fire for awhile"

10. "Fire"? "Wheels"?
Damn kids have it too good these days, if you ask me. Back in my day we ate cold rocks for dinner and slept on Stegasaurus plates. And you didn't hear us complaning, neither.

12. Well it was new and exciting to me when I discovered the joys of Arson.
JUST Kidding

But I did like to play with fire as a child; never set one I couldn't control, fortunately.
