Yup! I had a lot of fun wearing that "mock hippie" necklace. I suspect (hope!) that my fun with it is not over.

And, I bought it "just for fun" in Danang, RVN in 1966, never thinking I'd have an opportunity to wear it in a real street theater demonstration! Good thing I am a packrat!

"Good thing I am a packrat!"

Thank heaven there is a man who is a packrat!!

Reminds me of the time an auditor was in my department, going through my records.

He was a pleasant sort, and in chatting he bemoaned the fact his wife is one, expressing his belief if she hadn't used/worn/needed something within two years - 'CHUCK it' - period.

My reply was WRONGO, Bucko -
it is possible you might need it a whole 11 years out, and you'd be deprived of the smug feelings generated by having just the article you really, really need.
