Gettin' Out The Zambuck (05/11/21)

Well, for all of you who don't know what Zambuck is......I'm sorry. I don't know either. It was this black goopey stuff that smelled worse than A5-35, and my grandfather swore by it. It's medicinal properties were nothing compared to the emotional strife you suffered just thinking about the stuff.

If we got a cut, or small injury, and didn't run away fast enough, or hide it, out came the Zambuck. In this case, the cure was worse than the injury.

There may be something to that. I mean, what better way to discourage attention.....rub some gross stuff on the cut. I was a slow learner. It took me awhile to catch on. I had plenty of Zambuck treatments. (I can hear all of you laughing!)

Thanks Grandad, 'Take care how you go!'
