Back in 1973, I had a paper route and got rubber bands
by the box, about half the size of a man's shoebox. I
got the egg assignment, pulled half the rubber bands
from a box, put the egg in, replaced the bands,
wrapped it with tape and called it good. I got 100 and
spent the extra time shooting baskets.
