galoshes
Was going to mention them.
Remember the joke about the couple that was always
having kids? The went to the doctor and he told them
what to do to stop it. but soon they came back in and
the woman was pregnant. The doctor said, “I told you
what to do to prevent this, what went wrong?. and the woman piped up,
“Well, you told us to put a rubber on the organ, but
we didn’t have an organ so we put a galosh on the Piano...”
Wet galoshes, wet gloves, scarves heavy coats, the
cloak room at school was a mess.
we had “gumboots” when I was a kid...
we wore them to school in wet weather or when it snowed once every 10 years..(like in TN)
they sell gumboots at Walmart so I have a pair...
I don’t know what they are called here but they are rubber and go up near the knees...
I wore mine yesterday to move my car and feed the birds...
On the radio they just announced “watch out for sledders today”
that’s something we don’t see a lot here in SE TN ...
its going to be 29 today 8 tonight...
I just went outside on my back deck..
the snow is still powder it didn’t freeze Weird...
Remember the joke about the couple that was always
having kids?

Oh yes, SORRY, I did say closet and we all know it was a “Cloak Room”....Lord knows I got led into more than one ‘cloak room’ by the ear with Sister Mary ______ swinging something at me with the OTHER HAND...
AND they say I was disruptive....(HA)....
As to the joke, in 1950 a rubber was a shoe, eraser or such (at least in Catholic School)...
Is that the same as what ‘most every’ young lad carried in his wallet (if he had a wallet or anything to put in it) that left a ring?
Would imagine for the greater number of ‘boys’ that carried the ‘ring’ of freedom in his wallet would have nothing but dust by the time it was withdrawn for use.
That ‘circle’ was a sign of ‘manhood’ about the same status as smoking a cigarette.....
Ahhhh the memories....
