No real surprise, it's Mississippi. ;)

[Big Muddy]

Ha, I was waiting for that retort.....hence, my post title, "Idiots are everywhere". ;)

In Jim’s defense, Old Miss is in Mississippi

when I was a kid we would file a penny down to match the size of a dime and use it in a soda pop machine...:D

[BarryBobPosthole]

I’ll bet it took a dollar’s worth of effort for that dime!

My buddies were lazier. All you needed for free pop was one of those old vertical row pop machines and and church key and a cup.

You can say that again! Ha! Same here P-hole. We used to keep a church key on the handlebars of our bicycles. Our favorite victim was Old Man Schweitzer’s Sinclair gas station. He ran the place by himself and closed everyday at 5:00 pm and would open back up at 7:00 am. Closed on Sundays. That old revolving drum machine was outside the store and got hammered continuously! The biggest pita was needing a cup.

Thump you go first!.....:thumbsup

What the heck is a church key? What does it look like?

[BarryBobPosthole]

You gotta be kidding me.

History---Wikipedia...
A churchkey initially referred to a simple hand-operated device for prying the cap (called a "crown cork") off a glass bottle; this kind of closure was invented in 1892, although there is no evidence that the opener was called a "church key" at that time.[3] The shape and design of some of these openers did resemble a large simple key.[4]


A churchkey with a can piercer
In 1935, beer cans with flat tops were marketed, and a device to puncture the lids was needed. The same term, "church key", came to be used for this new invention: made from a single piece of pressed metal, with a pointed end used for piercing cans — devised by D.F. Sampson[5][6] for the American Can Company, who depicted operating instructions on the cans,[7] and typically gave away free "quick and easy" openers with their beer cans.[8]

Danged youngin's!

Grew up in the twist-off/tabtop era. :D

Can/bottle opener Mr. Sky.

Speaking of .... I still have my trusty P-38 on the chain with my old dog tags.

I doubt they still issue those ... don't think they're needed for MRE's.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Mine too! Assuming I could find my dog tags.

I "think" I know where mine are ... or the general area anyway. It would take a day of digging to find out, but I DO know they're "somewhere" in the house!

[BarryBobPosthole]

I have my Dad’s on the fireplace mantel in my office with his flag. Mine? It might take a day it might take a week.

Mine are with a pile of misc. memorabilia that I have plans to put into a nice shadowbox for my son. I asked him first if he'd be interested and he seemed extremely enthused. I guess I really need to find that box of stuff and get'er done or it'll all end up in an estate sale before too much longer. :(

Did you ever frame those Okie stamps?

[Big Muddy]

I prolly got 25 scattered around the house. ;)

[Thumper]

Church keys? Or P-38’s?

[Big Muddy]

P-38s.....we just bit the bottle caps off with out teeth. ;)

Ha ha ha! Funny typo there ya’ danged toothless redneck! :)

[Bwana]

Glad to see Big Sky asked the question as I had no idea what you gents were talking about. Around here we refer to them as bottle openers which to this northern boy seems to make perfect sense.

[BarryBobPosthole]

It also opens cans, Bwana.

BKB

[Thumper]

And churches. No wait!!! ;)

[BarryBobPosthole]

In a roundabout way you could say it opens knees too.
