'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going
the way they are, it's
going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries
for $20.00.'
'Have you seen the new cars coming out next
year? It won't be long
before
$2,000.00 will only buy a used one.'
'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going
to quit. A quarter a
pack is ridiculous.'
'Did you hear the post office is thinking about
charging a dime just to
mail a letter?'
'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody
will be able to hire
outside help at the store.'
'When I first started driving, who would have
thought gas would someday
cost
29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off
leaving the car in the
garage.'
'Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair
cuts make it impossible
to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will
be wearing their hair as
long as the girls.'
'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any
more. Ever since they let
Clark Gable
get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH
THE WIND, it seems
every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.'
'I read the other day where some scientist
thinks it's possible to put a
man on the moon by the end of the century. They
even have some fellows
they call astronauts preparing for it down in
Texas.'
'Did you see where some baseball player just
signed a contract for
$75,000 a year
just to play ball? It wouldn't
surprise me if someday
they'll be making more than the President.'
'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen
appliances would be
electric. They are even making electric
typewriters now.'
'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I
see where a few married
women are having to work to make ends meet.'
'It won't be long before young couples are going
to have to hire someone
to watch their kids so they can both work.'
'Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more, those
Hollywood stars seem to
be getting divorced at the drop of a hat.'
'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open
the door to a whole lot
of foreign business.'
'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when
the Government takes
half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if
we are electing the best
people to congress.'
'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice
weather, but I seriously
doubt they will ever catch on.'
'There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha
anymore for a weekend, it
costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.'
'No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00
a day in the hospital
it's too rich for my blood.'
'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut,
forget it.'
Know any friends who would get a kick out of
these, pass this on! Be
sure and send it to your kids and grandkids too!
