High School Barbeque Competition
 

Only in Texas. I wish we had something like this when I was in High School.

My yearbook from Jr High has a picture of me washing dishes. :blush:

I washed dishes when I was in 6th grade in the school kitchen. I got a free lunch for doing it.

I only washed the dishes, but never got free lunch out of the competition. :neutral:

Nope, I didn't either Pete.

The only dishes I ever washed I got paid $5.25/hour to do it.







Suckers.

Luxury. I was pulling down $3.25 if memory serves.

While I'm sweating all day in the hot Sun or a 130 degree hay mow for 90 cents an hour.

Haying I did for free.

Our own hay was a freebie. But 90 cents an hour haying all summer for 450 ungrateful cows. But Camels were only $3.50 a carton.

I can't remember when I started buying Camels by the carton, early on always sneaking them out of machines at maybe 50 cents a pack.
At the overseas Army PX, I think they were a buck a carton.
Hell, you couldn't afford not to smoke.

I remember them being 22 cents in the machine, put in a quarter and there was 3 pennies in the pack between the paper and cellophane. :crone:
