Going back a little more into history, my Dad and his brother used to poke through the gullies on the nearby farms (they all had one for trash) for bottles to sell to the bootleggers during prohabition (they got more for their hooch in a real bottle). Not only did that get them in to the movie theater for the matinee, but they both save up from that to buy their first 22 rifles.
