How in the hell did we ever survive our childhood?

I suspect it was due to the fact we hadn't learned to drink, yet!

I know it was as a young drinking adult I began to get careless. Had
two firecrackers blow up in my fingers cuz I'd been drinking. One
incident was straight out of a National Lampoon movie, where I lit the
firecracker with my cigar stub, then tossed the cigar!! I'm older and
wiser, now, and luckily still have all my digits, but if either one of
the aforementioned episodes had involved a real M80, I have no doubt
my nickname would now be Lefty.

'Here, hold my beer'
'Watch this!'
'Oh, I've done this a hundred times before'

Anybody remember the others? Foxworthy had a several-minute bit with
them on one of his old standup routines.

And yeah, as I remarked on here before, it is a small miracle that I
still have all my limbs and digits, and both eyes and both ears, and
they all still work, sorta. I try real hard not to do stupid stuff any
more- I don't heal up near as fast or well as I used to.
