Anyone else play ‘stretch’? Two of you facing each other with your legs together, taking it in turns to throw a knife either side (we all carried knives in the 60s😂) and you had to stretch your leg out to where your opponent’s knife had dug in, winner was the one who didn’t split his difference😂. The opposite to ‘stretch’ was chicken where you played the game in reverse😱
