New Years Eve – Time for reflection:
A friend of mine’s Mom
passed away not too long ago and he found bottle top that had a stopper
with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but his
daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt
shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the
ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam
irons. Man, I am old. I found this Older Than Dirt quiz surfing the
web and pass it on.
How many do you remember?

Ignition switches on the dashboard.
