How old is Grandpa???
Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.

One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about
current events.
The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the
shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.

The Grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute,
I was born before:
' television

' penicillin

' polio shots

' frozen foods

' Xerox

' contact lenses

' Frisbees and

' the pill
There were no:

' credit cards

' laser beams or

' ball-point pens

Man had not invented:

' pantyhose

' air conditioners

' dishwashers

' clothes dryers and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air

' man hadn't yet walked on the moon

Your Grandmother and I got married first, . . and then
lived together.

Every family had a father and a mother.

Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir".
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and
every man with a title, "Sir."

We were before gay-rights, computer-dating,
dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.

Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments,
good judgment, and common sense.

We were taught to know the difference between right
and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility
for our actions.

Serving your country was a privilege; living in this
country was a bigger privilege.
We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.

Having a meaningful relationship meant getting
along with your cousins.

Draft dodgers were people who closed their front
doors when the evening breeze started.

Time-sharing meant time the family spent together
in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.
We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric
typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.

We listened to the Big Bands, Jack Benny, and
the President's speeches on our radios.

And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his
brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.

If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk

The term 'making out' referred to how you did on
your school exam.

Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.
We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually
buy things for 5 and 10 cents.

Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar,
and a Pepsi were all a nickel.

And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend
your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards

You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, . . .
but who could afford one?
Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.

In my day:

' "grass" was mowed,

' "coke" was a cold drink,

' "pot" was something your mother cooked in and

' "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.

' "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office,

' " chip" meant a piece of wood,

' "hardware" was found in a hardware store and

' "software" wasn't even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady
needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder people call us
"old and confused" and say there is a generation gap..
and how old do you think I am?

I bet you have this old man in mind...you are in for a shock!

Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it
and pretty sad at the same time.

This man would be only 59 years old ! !

New Fromelles cemetery begins to take shape Finally they may RIP.

Who were the Men In Black? We have an Alien life form living amongst us, he pretends he is Scots and not a Cyborg from a red planet.
