Aw, I didn't really do anything stupid thing [[and, fortunately, not with girls!) but I remember having a nickel back about 1948 or so when I was heading to the Tower Theatre [[Grand River and Sorrento) to see a show, and I heard the old puffer puffer coming down the tracks on Foley west of Appoline. I couldn't' resist it, and I laid down the nickel on the steel track as the switcher approached. It came and went, and I was left with a greatly smushed five-cent piece. So I had a souvenir but no entry into the show. Went home and wondered had I made a great move or no.
I think it might have been an interesting decision had I kept that damn smushed nickle, but, alas, I did not, and I'm left with but a childhood memory.
