And I can remember as well as anything the first time that we heard a jet plane going over, my mother had went down to the- went down to that spring to get something and it went over and it went overlo-- and it li-- you-know it was sh-- that frigging shriek that they had to them.

...they didn't want people trying exams ah- in those days you took nine subjects in grade-thirteen and it was kind-of common ah for a lot of people to take two years to do the grade-thirteen um and so the kind-of fringe or average students ah were encouraged maybe to only tackle maybe four or five exams ah in their first year and then come back and do it again the second year.

They did say- my one fellow say after a big meal he'd say to his wife "I- do you want anymore to eat? I'm full as a tick." Interviewer: Full as a tick, yeah. Speaker: I know that he called ah um like I said my- my if I've sunburned, I'd say "I'm burnt like a tomato." Like those are sayings- the other guy was talking about a- used to call a creek, he'd call it a crick. Interviewer: Yeah. Speaker: The old people. "You go down to the crick," instead of saying the creek, you-know, they'd say a crick.

But, ah, I always remember lunchtime or dinner the- the older chaps were always full of piss and vinegar and raring to go. But the old guys, they'd (inc) and they'd come outside and they'd just lay down on the lawn under the shade of the tree, throw their hat over their face, and the thing like was in two minutes, everybody was sleeping.

Speaker: And, ah, "He was full of piss-and-vinegar!" I haven't heard that one for- well, it's all right. That's not a bad word. Interviewer: These are all expressions that were common.

I- The funnest part was recording. That was kind-of neat, and going to the big studio.

Um no. Ni-- okay fine my funnest trip was when my school went to Ottawa.

Yeah, that was the funnest house I lived in.

But yeah it was a fun job but not my funnest job. Interviewer: What would you say your funnest job was? Speaker: Um, Funnest job? Okay the summer that just passed I worked at Science-Outreach. That was with the U-of-T like an Engineering um Camp for kids like teaching them about like the fun of Math, Science and Engineering. That- that was pretty fun! I enjoyed that. But I 'll say the funnest job I 've had was working at K-F-C.

My favorite ride was Drop-Zone. That was the most funnest ride there.

Interviewer: I ah- today I ah, put my guitar into drop-D. Speaker: It 's funner.

And then she 's like- and then Duke was like, "Clara 's like, patient and understanding and funner."

No it's just funner. 'Cause I've been doing skiing my whole life and I wanted something new.

That's probably one of the fondest memories, fondest and funnest memories that I had in high-school.

Julie's friends can be funner than mine sometimes, so.

Got- walk to- to and from school, which in winter wasn't the funnest, but we did it.

It's the funnest place you can go to; I love it there.

It was a lot funner that way

I'm trying to think. Little boys are always the funnest to baby-sit 'cause they're crazy.

'Cause Dominos is the funnest game in the whole world.
