30 year old black powder

[Bob Roller]

A great friend gave me all his BP stuff on his death bed, he still had a lot of powder from the 70s that I still use.

He had one can of Goex 3F with an after market gag sticker on it. I used my thumb to cover up the risque disclaimer as this is a family site.

The cleaned up version with the other rhyming stuff left out;

It is good for fits, colds, moles and cures warts in the first stages.

Guaranteed not to rust, bust or collect dust or your money back double it the doctor passes these parts again.

I had a similar can label that said it controlled a variety of rodents as well as fits,freckles and meteorism (uncontrollable flatulence).

I would have to buy about 800 pounds of powder today if I wanted to have powder 30 years from now.  One, I can't afford that.  Two, it's illegal here to have that much powder.  Three - I would be 98 years old in thirty years, and likely won't be using 25 pounds a year like I do now.

He's been cutting back for a few years now, BTW.
