Here is another story about my Dad. When I was in my early teens, Dad told me that on Saturday nights back around 1940. Him and his friends would be in town (Licking Mo.) and see who could kill a running Model A by shorting out the spark plugs with their hands. He said He learned how to do that and would show off to the girls.
I said, Yah Right? But then I watched him reach down on a running lawn mower and kill the engine with his thumb and little finger shorting out the spark plug and didn't even flinch.
As far as I am concerned, that is a true story, and I don't have that skill.
Don
