[Robert Downs]

Yeah, or the one where the punch line is “Well, at least we now know what a Plover’s egg looks like.”.

Reminds me of the old joke about the city kids out in countryside seeing a milk box with a pile of empty bottles around it and asking if that was a cow’s nest.  If course today’s kids wouldn’t even make the connection of the glass bottles with milk!

Try showing a kid a typewriter some time.  When my son saw one for the first time, he asked me where the screen was.

I previously mentioned my salvaging a big transformer out of a AM/FM stereo receiver.  Late yesterday I was walking my dog and ran into a young guy I know, the grandson of my next door neighbor, and told him about my find.

 

The kid's  a real wiz at computers and has his own workbench in the garage with electronic parts and a soldering iron.  He is not afraid to take things apart and fix them.  But he responded by saying "What's a transformer?  What's it look like?"
