Re: Complete this sentence: I remember when I was a kid...
My grandfather couldn’t get the key out of his ignition because it had never been out. The same with my Dad’s. One night an escapee from an “insane asylum” stole Dad’s car. He got it back with six bullet holes in it. This was 1954 when the police shot at fleeing bad guys. -

Re: What's the easiest way to crack a PCGS slab?

He told the ticket agent at the airport that he wants to fly to Miami but he wants his bags to go to Cleveland, then Chicago, then Dallas. The agent told him they can't do that. He replied, 'well you did it the last time I flew with you". -
