Disputes settled on playground with fists

How times have changed.

In the news recently a boy was arrested on charges of carrying a knife to school.

When we were boys we carried knives to school all the time. All the boys did. They were used for games, never as weapons for use against others.

Only cowards or sissies would resort to that. If differences occurred among the boys, they were usually settled on the playground with fists.
