take the test.. how old are we

[OldAirmail]

15/15.

Yes I know what it is, and yes, I've used one before. Soy víejo.

[Hagar]

I got 13/15 & some of those were lucky guesses.

If you know what this is just say Yes or No.



And if you've actually used it you're too old to fly.

I'm sure that Paul remembers when this was High Tech.

I got 100% on the first try, and yes I know what the picture is OldAirmail. I know as I had on when I was a kid. LOL
Keep smiling

I know what it is too. I'm in my 70s but never owned or used one.

[Flying Trucker]

100%...Oh my I feel OLD...

[OldAirmail]

OK, I'll let everybody in on it.

That is a turnip (neep).



The metal tip lets you spin it as you peel it. Therefore the name: TURN-ip



The turnip with the tip on it was often tossed. Usually at a little brother or sister.

That was the origin of the phrase "Turnip! You're it!

[Zaphod]

Outstanding! Made me laugh out loud.

Zaphod.

I got 15 out of 15. DANG!! I still remember my Mom's wringer washing machine and how it used to "dance" across the basement floor with a heavy load.
And yes I do know what the object in OAM's picture is though mine was a slightly newer version made out of plastic.

But I guessed on the washing machine and icebox, having never seen either of them before.

In the late 70's I worked for a company that did a lot of international business. We used the telex often.

[Anthindelahunt]

I remember those washing machines. Ours was a Viking.
Strangely there is an identical one at the families summer
cabin in Tullameen BC.

Memories.

Anthin.

[Webb]

That's not a turnip.



Click for spoiler.

[OldAirmail]

Those things were for rich kids!


When I was a kid we had to use turnips and our pajama strings.

That's why we had to put the tip of a nail in the turnip.

Otherwise that turnip don't spin to much. Gets mushy, ya know.

If you know what this is just say Yes or No.



And if you've actually used it you're too old to fly.

15/15, and that pictured is no good without a string used to see who could knock over the most wooden shaped milk bottles in a square area.

[BLAZE]

Got 15 out of 15!.. AAWWW FOOWEE!!!

I would have got the "Ice Box" one anyway. One thing in my favor, I had to guess on
two of those oooold black and white pictures. ..
