I scored over 16 but I didn't need to take a quiz to tell me I'm older than dirt! My 17 year old daughter and 16 year old son tell me that all the time. They just wish they were making the money I do!

How about push reel mowers and hand clippers?

[jannan]

All but 1&11 and I suspect that they are regional things. In the late 40's & 50's we had to count the #of rings. How old are you?

[Eric ELM]

I got a perfect score, I'm older than dirt. I can top some of these questions. I've mowed with horses, raked hay, planted corn and cultivated with horses. Listened to the Lone Ranger and Our Miss Brookes on radio. We had a Studebaker and before that a Model A Ford. I'm older than water too. :)<p>----------<br>&lt;a href=&quot;http://elmlawnsite.com/&quot;&gt;Eric@ELM&lt;/a&gt;<br>

My kids don't know how I could grow up without an answering machine, vcr, or computer.

Butch Wax? Oh yeah! Makin mine stand up right now! Nice and flat on top.

[1stclasslawns]

Well, 20 out of 25, a couple more actually but considering I'm from Arkansas where its always 20 years behind the times. <br>And we can still get the coke bottles full of suger water!!!!<br>And I used to deliver film to a Drive In, It closed about 10 years ago but there is still one 30 miles south of here!!!! So I guess I'm older then dirt but today is still my birthday!

[nlminc]

I don't remember yesterday! ;)

[yardsmith]

I'm only 31 & remembered about 14 or 15, but have seen most all of them, at grandmas house or what ever.<p>----------<br>Smitty ô¿ô<br>

Brought back some memory's. If fact just the other day I was just thinking of milk in the glass bottles and licking the cream off the paper stopper. Man, that was good. And am still kicking myself in the butt for using all those old Elvis 45's for BB gun targets.<p>And yes I remember the rest of them also.<p>jim

I think there is something wrong with your test. I think you have to go back farther to find out if your old. I scored a 24 out of 25 and I'm only 45 years old. My wife knows for a fact your test is wrong. She remembered 23 out of 25

[thelawnguy]

You need to be able to discern the difference between actually knowing of these things, and having had experienced them.<p>The test was culled from the Web. I enjoyed reading it and hope everyone else did too. If not, well...<p>Bill<br><p><font size="1">Edited by: thelawnguy
