When I was growing up we had this great kitchen chair that had a hinge in it so you could flip the back over and the whole thing would convert into a stepladder. I'm pretty sure it's still in my dad's house.

We had the same kind of chair, I'm not sure where it got to...

Clod's dad has it.

Or you can buy one here: http://www.theparadenorwood.com/bp743/se-waite-son/

I imagine that most furniture manufacturers got out of the step stool business for liability reasons. You can argue that when a dumbass falls off a stool and breaks their neck, they shouldn't have been standing on the stool in the first place. But if you incorporate steps leading up to the top of the stool, you can't make that argument any longer. Then you are in the position of having to make sure your step stool is idiot proof. And idiots are pretty clever at finding new ways to be idiots.

Like by clambering over the exposed machinery of an out of service escalator.

...and, after the fact, very clever at finding someone else to be responsible for their behavior/stupidity.

Yea, highchairs have come a long way since then. :D

God damn whippersnappers, that ain't a high chair, it's a kitchen step stool... now get the hell off my lawn. :cuss:

nice smiley bruce - thats a new one to me!

Us po folk used it as a high chair. :D

You probably drove to town on a tractor, but that don't make it a car.:p:

Naw, we had a station wagon with a rumble seat in the back. The big fight was who got to sit in the back. Oh, and seat belts were an option back then.

'69 Dodge? Rear seatbelts became standard in '68, '64 up front.

Hell, it was somewhere around there, but who remembers that stuff with they were 9, 8, or 4?

I do. :p:



Now if I could remember what I had for breakfast...
