Nobody had heard of bird flu in the 70s.
We were just a bunch of happy hippies surrounded by the smell of burning solder and other inflammables.

Yep. When I would work on my model trains, there would be a hint of burning plastic smell to go with it

Heh, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw your post, and wondered what in the world someone could be posting about a transistor for.

I still have one (with its legs cut off) as a key fob.
It was one of a total of eight that got fried in a regulated power supply / linear amplifier combination when a capacitor failed.
That was in about 1973.
I used to use them [almost] by the bucket full.

There are more catholic churches in Las Vegas than casinos.
Many worshippers give casino chips rather than money for the offering. Since they get so many chips from so many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. They send all collected chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.
All this work is graciously done by... CHIP MONKS!

You left out the role of the Elvis impersonators.

“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”
“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.
