Made a good trade

Post by bunkysdad »

There was a time when you could trade your accumulated Ammo for good stuff you needed, but nowadays it’s the other way around. Traded a old chain saw to a buddy who no longer needed this spam can of Mosin food. I made out real good, and my buddy was happy as a clamImage

Good deal.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Last one like that I bought cost a hundred dollars, and that was half the market value a couple of years back. Wasn't me that found it, a friend of mine stumbled across it at a flea market. I hate to think what these cans go for today.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

A good deal is when both side are happy with the deal.

Dat's right!
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

I inventoried my ammo earlier in the week. With that information, I think I may be rich! Maybe I will do like Richie Rich and open all the cans and play in the ammo.
