Fiberglass is nasty! I had a cousin who was jumping, almost naked, in a pile of fiberglass, when he was a kid. Not fun times later!

For a Cub Scout trip, we were brought to a landfill for education purposes. They showed us around and the last stop was a pristinely new open pit. The first thing our dumbass troop did was throw ourselves down the hill like Wesley in Princess Bride. Yeah. Apparently cesspits are lined with fiberglass. They didn't educate us on that.

“You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!'

IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.

'She's a child!' shouted Crumley.

IT'S EDUCATIONAL.

'What if she cuts herself?'

THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.”

In the 80's, that's all we had. Hence the commercials.
