Some guys hoard toilet paper; some guys hoard ‘02 road tests... ?

 

And when you run out of toilet paper, one can always ruffle up a paper page and use that to wipe.

Not sure I witnessed the moon landing live on TV, but I still remember when my 5th grade teacher tearfully announced in class that President Kennedy was assassinated.

First grade. It was all that both TV channels carried for what seemed like a couple weeks.

 

And yes, I watched the moon landing live, too. Don't recall the details, just remember it felt amazing. We had 3 channels by then...

PS, my brother and I each got one of those paper Lunar Module models from a gas station give away, we reenacted that landing over and over.

Wait, all you guys that watched it in school.  7/20/1969 was a Sunday.  I definitely was home watching.

No, the school thing we were referring to was JFK’s assassination, November 22, 1963, not the lunar landing.
