Seriously though, it’s a broad question. My mom was an Oklahoma State Employment Department office manager when I was in High School. She didn’t hand out checks; she put people to work. If they wouldn’t work at a job she offered, they didn’t get a check. I was her utility player when no one was available.

I spent two weeks as a meat cutter. One of the guys lent me his boning knife. These guys sharpened constantly (and several were missing finger parts). This knife was whittled down to about ¼ inch and went through meat like butter. I have no idea what brand or type of steel it was, but I remember it like it was yesterday. That was in 1967.
