what?
a box of mint-condition 1918 liberty-head silver dollars.
You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people,
and one day I seen J.D. Rockefeller flying by. So I'd run of the house with a big washtub and... hey! Where are you going? I'd shout
Anyway, my washtub.
I'd just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking-bird.
We'd always have walking-bird at Christmas, with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder.
Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called kickball.
