Gotta know this piece!
- DoctorOetker 4y agoI was about to post the same. Is this person still alive to tell the other story?
- gdavisson 4y agoI have an example of the opposite: When I was quite young, I got into model rocketry as a hobby. Buying engines required a pyrotechnician's license, and I was too young to get one, so I talked both of my parents into applying for licenses. My dad had been in the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in WWII, so when he got to a question on the form that asked if he had any previous experience with explosives, he put something like "Yes, conventional and nuclear." His application took significantly longer than my mom's to process.
