I remember when it was quite common to find manual (transmissions) in full size trucks, compacts like the S10/ranger didn’t exist, just toyota & mazda. Now very few manuals are even out there. I remember gas being .88
and keeping with my song reference:
when a coke was still cola, a joint was a bad place to be.

And it was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV
Before microwave ovens
when a girl could still cook
and still would

For those who are not "sporty" it was an hour of failure and ridicule. I was unable to climb a rope, so I was laughed at. I tried jumping the vault, slammed my knees into the box, hurt like the dickens. And I got laughed at. I had little balance, coordination. And even though I tried, I got laughed at.

When my family moved to a bigger town the gym classes were electives. I took archery and swimming. And I didn't get laughed at.

Gym is nothing but a class for tiny teeny petit non sporty girls to get teased and ridiculed by boy and taunted by the cool girls (upon which all have been sworn at much over the years).

Best thing ever the cool girls are fat and bleached grey hair and the guys fat and bald. Meanwhile I am still the same as I was 45 yrs ago!
