You might be in your 50's if.....

[MarkAd]

Your Dad threaten to put a crank handle on the TV because you changed channels all the time.
And youse boneheads forgot about the TOTALLY SMOKING HOT Sophia Loren.
the 66 mustang fastback.
your phone number was 4 digits.
Only the sickly kids played inside.
You peed in the coke bottle because your dad would not stop on road trips.
You sleep on the ground anywhere as long as you got off the road.
You never wore shoes in the summer and had to scrap tar off your feet.
Bought your comic books with pop return money.

Yeah. I had that toy as well as the 007 PPK with all the attachments. I'm long out of my 50's and I had the Steve Canyon jet pilot's helmet, Mattel guns with Greenie Stick-em caps, several Marx toy soldier sets, and now I collect WW2 rifles.

Drove a 65 fastback in highschool

I was talking to a guy about being in a barn yard with sandals on.Said how I felt dumb wearing those there
He said he and his siblings got shoes for church and school,not for cleaning the chicken coop

The high school principal confiscated your locker room girlie magazines, told you not to bring anymore to school and then kept them in his desk drawer.

...you had to have a wheelie bar on your Schwinn Stingray but took it off because it was lame.

 

[Lilhigbee]

Your high school had a smoking area for students.

Remember the Schwinn Stingray with the three speed hub shifter? The big drum front brake and the springer front end, and sissy bars.

I had a Sky Blue I think in 1964. It had the slik rear tire, white banana seat but also a springer front in. Must of been custom ordered by my dad. I sold it to a neighbor kid when I was in high school. At one point I put after market rear shocks on it

Mine was a five speed and after crashing it while doing a wheelie, that steel stick shifter is not junk friendly to say the least.

Don't know about you guys but my high school gym coach had a huge paddle he kept hung up on the wall, and he used it.
