How old is this OLD man?!
Question: How old is this OLD man!?
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 and
' 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 those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started!.
Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and not weekends
purchasing condominiums!.
We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, computers, electric typewriters,
yogurt, or guys wearing earrings!.
We listened to 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, KFC 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 5 cents!.
And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your 5c on enough stamps
to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards!.
You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for R1000, !. !. but who could afford one!?
Too bad, because petrol was 15 cents a gallon!.
In my day:
' 'grass' was something you 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!.
Are you ready !?!?!?
This man would be only 59 years

wow, part of me wishes it was still that wayWww@Enter-QA@Com
If the man was 59 that would mean he was born in 1949!. Television was available in the 1930's!. Penicillin was used in 1942!. the Xerox company began in 1906!. The first usable contact lens came out in 1888!. So actually the guy is older!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Then how old is the joke!? Because 59 years ago a lot of that stuff was invented etc!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
