If you went to a school that had ceiling tiles you would toss your pencils up and make them stick in the ceiling.Good fun. So one day in Biology class we had to dissect a frog or a guinea pig. This guy who was my lab partner tossed three scalpels up into the ceiling.I remember that! So many of those spring loaded toys are gone and for good reason. I had this spring loaded rocket base thing, Christmas morning had my dad getting the ladders out to pull out the plastic rocket embedded in the living room ceiling.
He went on to become an Indiana State Trooper.
