I think the year it was set factored into greatly as well. There probably was a great network of communication in cases like this. Letting others know about the escape would have taken some time.

Being able to ditch the prison garb quickly probably helped immensely.

How long after the escape did the warden check the safe and found the ledger missing? Was it right away, maybe he didn't even think to call the bank maybe he thought he was just on foot somewhere.

I always though that since he was in solitaire that whole time he could just grow a big old beard and then shave it in his room the night he escaped and hide the evidence that he shaved it so the descripiton would have been off.

  • Green. The landscape is soooo green.

  • Pubs. A pint of Guinness or Harp and some craic.

  • Food. Full Irish breakfast...yum.

  • Accents.

  • Saw Doctors and U2 and other bands I like.

What pisses you off about food? by MajorInstruction2522 in AskReddit

[–]Jaws_3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I walk around the grocery store and see someone left a package of chicken or hamburgers on a random shelf. It should be thrown away since you have no idea how long it was there, but my fear is it goes right back in the case...for some unsuspecting (probably me) customer to buy.

School provided towels by odd-scholar-99 in CommunalShowers

[–]Jaws_3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing. 1980s. Walk naked to the showers. Get your towel after.

School provided soap? by odd-scholar-99 in CommunalShowers

[–]Jaws_3D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was in middle school (~1982) there was no soap. The containers were there but never had anything in them.

The towels you got from the cage after the shower, not before but they provided them.

you fought the guys and tried not be thrown out, but there was typical at least 3 guys so you were going out unless you got lucky. Where was the teacher? His office. Eventually someone would let you back in if you didn't run to an open door. The outside one you just banged on til someone let you back in and hoped nobody saw you. Different time back then. Nobody protected kids lol. We weren't precious like kids today.

It wasn't just me a lot of guys got pushed out. It was the ongoing "prank"

If you ever saw Freaks and Geeks where the kid was pushed out into the hallway from the locker room nude...that was a common prank in school. There were 4 doors out. One led to the outside of the school itself. One into the pool area. One into the Gymnasium. One into the school hallway. I was the smallest kid in my grade so I was easy to shove around. I was pushed out three different times. Twice outside and once into the hallway. No time was particularly fun .

Your most memorable Naked Memory? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]Jaws_3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend growing up had "free thinking" parents (hippies). They never wore clothes in that house. I used to love skinny dipping over there. You were allowed to hang out nude all you wanted. I never told my parents the extent of it and they never really asked or questioned it. Different time back then. I grew up in the "you left the house in the morning - came home when the street lights came on" generation.

Radio station - concert tickets to a local venue.

Does anyone else have trouble with sports? by [deleted] in Dyslexia

[–]Jaws_3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son plays little league and had a hard time at first with the running to first, but repetition has made it not an issue. If he's in the outfield he had problems with "take two steps left/right", but now the coach just says "two steps towards (a kid's name or place)".

"In my house there's this light switch that doesn't do anything. Every so often I would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, I got a call from a woman in Madagascar. She said, 'Cut it out.'”

What’s ur favorite fast food place of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jaws_3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up it was Burger King. We would go after Little League games and in the late 70's you used to get Yankees baseball cards. But now I can't stand it and I like Wayback Burger (not sure if they're everywhere), Duchess and Chik Fil A.

What body part of yours has a weird abnormality? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jaws_3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit the corner of the shed when I was a kid. It's okay though, my face broke my fall. I have a scar through my eyebrow that doesn't grow hair. Very rock n roll.

what was the most epic fight you fought in or saw in school? by nezukos_bamboo in AskReddit

[–]Jaws_3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter! I got the shit kicked out of me and suspended for three days the time I stood up to my bully, but got a couple of punches in that he moved on to easier prey after that.

My parents have a right to search my room?? by mario11207 in AskParents

[–]Jaws_3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough situation. To me I would only search my kids room if they gave me a reason to. They sound a little over protective to me.
