Red Medicine went on every cut or scrap. Hope I spelled it right. Mercurchrome. Burned like H-E-L-L..... Mercuro chrome did not burn, we called it monkey blood. Merthiolate burned like hell worse than iodine or alcohol. Both would stain the skin red. One or the other did get put cuts and scrapes. I would rather hide the wound than face Merthiolate. Hydrogen peroxide was our treatment followed by antibiotic ointment. If no peroxide, then rubbing alcohol.

'51 Ford, the bracket that attached the steering column to the dash was a perfect bottle opener, same with the rear bumper guards.
Could take the spare out of it's well, put a case of beer there and cover with Ice.
Used to go to a deep hole in the river and party when I was 18.

kaywoodie,
I drove to Waco frequently, in those long ago DAZE, to "enjoy the feminine charms of" an utterly stunning RED-headed Baylor coed. - I kept the road between the 40 Acres & Baylor's campus HOT for quite a while, until she suddenly ran-off & married a Marine CPT.
(I've forever liked redheads & Helen Fey M__________ liked to "play".)
yours, tex

You knew which stores sold beer to minors and nothing was done about it.

DIRT CHEAP furnace oil, from the local farmer's co-op, that I burned in my old MB 220D.
Fwiw, the old NA MB diesels will run on most anything that will burn, except gasoline. = Furnace oil is close enough to #2 diesel to work FINE.
Fwiw, I shudder to think about some of the mixtures that I ran in that engine, when we were newlyweds & BOTH of us were trying to go to Tulane on HALF of one scholarship, including used motor oil from the "quick change lubrication" joint, filtered French-fry grease, used AT fluid, soybean oil, rancid Wesson oil, etc., etc., etc. - That old diesel car was slow but just "kept on keeping on" for over a decade.
(We also hunted & fished every day, so that we could eat regularly/decently.)
Btw, we spent our honeymoon in a borrowed tent on Bloody Bayou & spent less than 40 bucks. - We had FUN.
