Try using your thumbnail on a roll of caps.

I have lived in small towns! So small that when a pin was placed on a town map… the pin was much bigger than the town! ;)

We used to drop big rocks on rolls of caps.

Oh, you were soooo lucky. We were so poor that we didn’t have a hammer, and we only had two caps.

Oh the ways we blew up rolls of caps! My favorite was to put them in vice grips, squeeze them as tight as they would go, and then smack the whole thing against the ground. I’m convinced my hearing is as bad as it is because of caps. And firecrackers. And cherry bombs. And homemade explosives.

Bada Bing Bada Bang

I wonder how many people under, say, fifty even know what we’re talking about?

A “Night on the Town” takes only 11 minutes.

I remember using a hammer on a an entire roll of caps on the basement floor.

not only was that extravagant , my ears rang for awhile afterward

Not a lot of bang for your buck.

Nowadays you probably need a background check before getting a permit to buy caps … at least in Caliunicornia …!

Hit a`5 roll box of caps one time with a sledgehammer. Lifted the hammer back up into the air. It sure was LOUD. What was that you said?

Big Bang Theory! You created a universe!

My Brother and I put the roll of caps in our “shoot ’em up” cap pistols.

Loved the smell of caps in the mornin’ …!

Hahahaha! That’s exactly what we used to do when we were kids.

My town was so small they cancelled the fourth of July when the wall calendar went missing.
