The Original Old Farts Club

[Hippie420]

I got one for you Old Farts. Anybody remember the fluoroscope they used to use at the shoe store when you bought a new pair of shoes? Wonder how many foot deformities and cancer stricken shoe salesmen were caused by 'em?
It was once accepted science, much like the crap they're pushing today.

I remember seeing those on tv. They used to do a lot of dumb **** with radiation until they figured out it was fking dangerous.

Seventy years ago, children considered a trip to the shoe store a real treat, because it gave them access to a fascinating toy — a shoe-fitting fluoroscope. Little did they know that this endlessly amusing contraption was exposing them to unsafe amounts of radiation that could have lasting impacts on their health.

Seriously? None of you Old Farts never put on a new pair of shoes and stuck your foot inside the magic box?
Damn, I'm old. Was kinda neat to see your toes wiggle in the end of your footwear.

I remember standing right next to a cornfield in the mid 1950's and watching crop dusters spraying DDT more times than I can remember. Nobody knew or cared.

I thought they were way before my time but they were used from the 20s till the 70s. I don’t remember ever seeing one except on American pickers show. Interesting that they were spreading radiation all that time

Semper Fi brother! Thanks for your sacrifice.................... Any symptoms?

As luck would have it, I trained at MCRD instead of Paris Island, even though the island was closer. The crouch seemed to enjoy moving the raw recruits as far away from their mommies as possible.

Highly competent might be easier to find than trying to sort a "good" attorney from the 98% that give the rest a bad name. Remember that the other side isn't good, nor playing fair, or you wouldn't be in litigation.

Class action suite, only one getting money is the freaking lawyer.
