Hmmmm … I remember something a bit more sinister … SLING SHOTS. They were really easy to make .. All you needed was a tree branch shaped like a Y and a strong rubber band. My girlfriend’s brother (yes that SAME one that appears in some of my other stories) used to LOVE to hit us with his sling shot. Unfortunately, he was great at aiming too! We’d ride by on our bikes, and “POW!” we’d be hit. We’d rollerskate, and “BAM!” right on our
derierre’s … Then he’d “POP” out of the bushes laughing.
Wonder if Bart Simpson is his hero…. hmmmmm.
