An Arkansas State trooper pulled a car over on I-30 about 2 miles north of Malvern. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Little Rock to do a show for the Children’s Hospital. He didn't want to be late.

The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle. The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.

While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the State Troopers car. A drunken good old boy from Sheridan got out, watched the performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to his car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing. The drunk replied, “You might as well take me to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that sobriety test.”

I had all daughters, I can remember one of them losing track of a game she was playing in due to a pretty butterfly .

At least it's something interesting. I "coached" for both of my kids. They usually lose track of the game because of a particularly interesting piece of grass or something.
"Eyes up front!"
"Glove up front!"
"On your feet!"
It's ridiculous how many times each of those is yelled during a game. And I know I shouldn't be comparing my kids to others, particularly those on TV... But goodness gracious! They got kids half the age of my kids and they're all dialed in... They know exactly what they're doing with their lives - they'll be stars on their high school teams and end up on some farm team ready for their call any day.
Meanwhile, I can't get my son to go after the ball when it's hit towards him... Yet, he "wants to play".

Yes, I am old enough and you are very correct. 90V for the plates and 1 1/2V for the filaments. I never built any, but I certainly serviced them. I ordered and sold many of the little converter power supplies that replaced that giant battery pack. I actually cut my teeth on the 5 tube radios that used the 50L6 power output & 35Z5 rectifier tubes plus the three 12V tubes. Oh my, those were the days. My stash of vacuum tubes are still in my traveling service satchel in the attic.

I think everybody can agree, however many there are, there just aren't enough of them...

I just have an empty GE case.... tubes are worth serious coins !!! Wished I'd kept the tube tester, oh well... still have tube radios and amplifiers 'downstairs'... next to a box of PCBs with Intel 8008 microcomputers on them.
