By all means, when you see something, fully handle it.

We just used to poke at stuff with sticks...

FULLY handled it.

I've never seen a more thorough handling in my life. Halfway through I was thinking "Wow, OP's wife must be a lucky lady" But then I remembered that he's got whatever that thing is all over his hands for the rest of eternity.

Back when common sense was a lot more common.

"Common sense" does not describe the quality of sense, just what is common.

And uncommon sense can be either of high or low quality.

Yup. It goes, throw rock, long stick, short stick (optional), and then water, touch, and fire.

Well, shit. I've been jumping from long stick straight to fire for almost 40 years. I really fucked that one up.

I miss the stick poke days, Plus then you could always fling it at your buddy If you really needed someone to actually check the texture of the goo.
