    Child labor as payback for mother’s labor? Brings back memories of products advertised in comic books 50 years ago. I was too smart to believe in the x-ray glasses.

      I think the reformers of 125 years ago were a little too hasty in condemning child labor. Strangely, I’m reminded of this every time I’m in the candy aisle at Wal-Mart when the little darlings are “expressing” themselves.

    Good Day Sir.

    Awesome truss. Too long I’ve wondered just how I to show my patriotism WHILE causing massive irreversible testicular trauma.
    (Incidentally, I saw that gentlemen at another parade I’m known to frequent- HELLO SAILOR!)

    “Hello, Sailor?” I can only assume you mean commencement exercises at the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis.
