Charlie did a public service with humor, 'splainin' the differences between 1973 and today. One item:
Scenario: Jack pulls into school parking lot with rifle in gun rack.
1973 -Vice Principal comes over, takes a look at Jack's rifle, goes to his car and gets his to show Jack.
2006 - School goes into lockdown, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.
But he didn't show you the 1950 reaction:
Vice-Principal comes over, takes a look at Jack's rifle, goes to his car and gets his. Vice-Principal and Jack have informal bet on target-shooting abilities, using chipmunks in schoolyard as targets. Vice-Principal wins contest. Jack pays him the 3-cigarette bet proceeds.
Methinks 1950s "Jack" is actually someone else.
