In the 1960âs I was a paper boy, and Wednesdayâs papers were normally pretty thick, and I had been known to have one or 2 do this on peopleâs porch! Especially the high ones!
I rolled them tightly and did not throw them. Though one day the street was flooded and Old Pete was on the other side instead of taking it around the long way, he said, âJust throw it.â Yep, guess where it opened up. Fortunately, I carried an extra and that one made it to him.
As a kid, I donât remember the use of rubber bands. The paper boys knew how to wrap the paper tightly and it was tossed gently, not thrown with force. Later on, though, I DO remember rubber bandsâŠ. after THAT, I worked for the newspaper and brought one home every day for free.
Most of my paper route customers either requested I put the unfolded paper into the screen door or had a special newspaper-friendly mailbox. The carriers that new how to do those tight tube-shaped papers that could be tossed from the street were magical to meâŠ
Hey yaâll prepare yourself for the no rubberband man / Youâve never heard a sound / Like the no rubberband man / Youâre bound to lose control / When the no rubberband starts to jam
Iâve used both the tightly-rolled with rubber bands method, and the folded-and-tucked method. The tightly-rolled could be thrown much farther, but the fold-and-tuck were more fun to throw, as they âsailedâ⊠âș
