They avoided this, however, clearly remain engaged with the culture, and thus their material is relevant without becoming dated.

"Then I play Doctor Octopus!" That comment had me roaring XD

I'm glad it doesn't shy away from pointing out all the work firemen do between jobs but surely there was a way to make those descriptions somewhat engaging?

"Big deal, I eat and sleep at my job too." Yeah Mike, that's why you got fired from that temp job where you played _Doom_ all day.

"Then we scrubbed the dirty hose." I have to admit that sounded a lot different than what they were actually doing.

"The first time I looked up that big ladder, I wondered how anyone could climb it." "'Do they start from the top?' I thought to myself. You see, I'm not a bright man." That killed me.

"Raw Quantity" was a very successful restaurant chain in the 1950s.

I have NO idea why some had people face the sun - I could never understand their logic, (unless they couldn't afford flash cubes for their Kodak Instamatic cameras!! ), I'm a pretty advanced photographer --- Trust me, the "bad" habit of having people face toward the sun while photographing them is STILL practiced today. Every time someone wants to take a group photo outside and they ask everyone to face directly at the sun, I ask them, "Why? do you want a photo of everyone squinting as their eyes are in pain?" (and then I advise them to have everyone face in a given direction so they don't have to be looking into the sun.) My dad was a an excellent photographer (by "hobby" and every-day photography). He was born in 1939, raised my siblings and I through the 60s until we graduated in the early 1980s -- He knew better and had always taken some awesome portraits and group shots. I got a big kick out of your comment, especially in light that people STILL do that despite that digital cameras (point and shoot, cell, and DSLRs) all have automatic settings to handle light, etc.

Because when my house is in fire I’m concerned how clean those hoses are. Without a clean hose they might as well be spraying dirt on my house. This is how to make a proper sandwich. Grab some bread, make sure it’s not moldy. Grab some cheese, then on the bread put cheese, meat, lettuce, tomato on it.
