kcjenkins Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 THE CAT IN THE HAT ON AGING...... I Cannot See I Cannot Pee I Cannot Chew I Cannot Screw Oh, My God, What Can I Do? My Memory Shrinks My Hearing Stinks No Sense of Smell I Look Like Hell My Mood is Bad -- Can't You Tell? My Body is Drooping Have Trouble Pooping The Golden Years Have Come at Last The Golden Years can Kiss My Ass! Just in case you weren't feeling too old today. The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1991. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up. Their lifetime has always included AIDS. The CD was introduced two years before they were born. They have always had an answering machine. They have always had cable.. Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show. Popcorn has always been microwaved. They never took a swim and thought about Jaws. They don't know who Mork was or where he was from. They never heard: 'Where's the Beef?', 'I'd walk a mile for a Camel ', or 'de plane Boss, de plane'. McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers. They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter. Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list. Notice the larger type? That's for those of us who have trouble reading. P.S. Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate..

Margaret CPA in OH Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 This has to be one of the best I've seen regarding the list of what the young of today have always or never experienced. Best because of the prelude, the larger type (thanks!) and the PS! KC, keep 'em comin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack from Ohio Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 When soda cans did NOT have a tab to open them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daune/CA Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 When soda cans did NOT have a tab to open them? How about soda that came in a bottle and you needed a "church key" to open it, instead of in a can. And those soda bottles could be returned for 2 cents deposit refund. That was how I got much of my spending money, returning those bottles that I found for the refund. And most of today's kids do not even know what a typewriter is, let alone to use one.
