Never read that much of his columns in the past. But ever since he retired, I have read them from time to time. This column just made me laugh out loud. We didn't collect pizza boxes, we collected beer bottle caps. Literally thousands of them ;) And no, I have yet to have a collector come calling to buy them from me. LOL
We once made a Christmas tree out of Pearl Beer cans and strung the "poptops" together -- for tinsel.
You mean you still have them?
Do you live near here?
