I was but 11 years old in 1955 but my mom and mil got a real kick out of these!! *Gentle Hugs*
That's only
53
years ago!
* '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 .00.'
* 'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?
It
won't be long before ,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 .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 of
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 ,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 .00 a night to stay in a hotel.'
* 'No one can afford to be
sick anymore, at .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 grand kids
too.
Today I know we struggle with things too. Just the cost of gasoline alone is a big chunk of your salary. Not to mention the price of a new car. Which now a days in almost as expensive as a house or at least a sizable down payment.
I hate to think what it will be like a few years down the road when my sons are out of college and thinking about starting a family.
Lmao !!! this is the year I was born!! Man I feel OLD
