On 14 August 1903, while on a cruise from Chicago to South Haven, Michigan, six of the ship’s firemen refused to stoke the fire for the ship’s boiler, claiming that they had not received their potatoes for a meal.
Rather than give the poor guys a few potatoes they threw them in the brig and charged them with mutiny.
Commercial jet fuel does not contain lead, though, thank god.
Lead fuel is still used in many piston engine aircraft, so try not to live near a small private plane airport.
