Ah, toys....I had some cool ones back in the 50's and 60's, but this was one of my faves. Had a great time blowing the balls off the Christmas tree, until Mom caught me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePDpdhOPIsM
Ah yes, back when kids were less fragile. Sharp edged metal toys and rust wires.Fun stchuff.
Because back then parents took responsibility for teaching their kids instead of trying to safe-guard the world.
Dad: Son, don't touch that wire (electric fence for the cows) it will shock you.
Son: Will it hurt?
Dad: Yes son, that's why I'm telling you not to touch it. Please learn from my experience and knowledge. Respect that which you don't know.
Son: *Grabs wire* OWWWWW!!!
Dad: I tried to warn you son. Did you learn the lesson?
Son: Yes Father.
Dad: That was just the fence, touch these other wires (overhead hangs) and you could die. Do you believe me son? Please never touch these type of wires.
Son: Do now dad. Thanks.
My toys!!!
MINE!!!
MMMMMIIIIINNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Ok - now where are my meds?
Or maybe my Evel Knievel Daredevil Stunt set!

Kinda lame but funny for the old farts crowd
I had that dump truck, front loader, and the fire truck as a hand me down. Still a few years from being 30 though.

Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
I had all those Tonka trucks. I miss those days!!!!!!!!!
should I post pictures of all the green john deere tractors I've still got from the 60's and 70's?
It was a sad day when I came to the realization that I was "too old" to play with toys like those. Went on to other things.
Then, in my early 20s, I had the first of two sons. It was like a rebirth. I got to play with all the cool toys again under the guise of "just playin' with my kids". I spent a fortune on toys like that for them. We built many miles of highways and hauled tons of dirt with those Tonka trucks.
It was awesome!
