During the war, we had to turn all our leaded paint chips in to the gov'ment refinery so they could make bullets. In return, they gave us pencil leads to eat; but, those were actually graphite and we went into withdrawal. If it wasn't for our dog chasing cars and snatching the lead wheel weights off them, we would have starved to death. Good Loco: it was the first and only trick he ever learned.
