··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorHoly smokes your grandpa had forearms like Popeye (the sailor man).
Men are bigger today (but, I'm convinced had much stronger hands back then).
Five year olds were stronger back then.
My father long past started work at the age of 12 after losing hes father, fought in the ring at 15 for $$ to support hes mother and brother and sister.
He was a butcher and in those days there was no band-saws and everything was heavy chopper,s (meat cleaver) and meat saw to cut through bone. I remember he was walking home from the train and caught me and my brother a block away from home throwing rocks at other kids.
He walked past and grabbed my brother 14 and me 10 by the shirt scruff and picked us up and walked the last block with hes bag in one hand and both of us in hes right arm out in front of him and our feet never touched the ground.
Men were men at a lot younger age back then also
