I guess I was about ten when my uncle took us kids to the county fair. One ride was called "The Bullet", a rotating arm with two spinning cabs on either end. The cabs spinned around also.also. I bragged all the way to the fair that I wanted to take on "The Bullet". It was expensive at the time at 50 cents. I was still bragging when we got close to the ride, and I was foolishly still running my mouth when my uncle calmly handed the half dollar and said "Here You Go". I then had to cash the check that my mouth had written, so to speak, or I could have never lived it down. Holy s**T. Talk about terrified the whole three minutes. Afterward, of course, I swaggered the rest of the day and claimed it was not a big deal for a man of my courage. That was some 70 years ago and I can still remember every detail.
