Can you ladies imagine dragging your skirt hems through that?? How do you spell GROSS, as the kids of today would say??

The description actually brought back memories from the 1950s, however. My uncle ran the old-time country store that my great-grandfather had started back in the 1860s. It still had the pot-belly stove in the middle. The old gents would sit around the stove, chewing and spitting tobacco, and usually eating sardines. You can imagine the smell. To this day, I want to throw up when I see a can of sardines or see a man spit!
