  • Back in 1955

    Did you hear the post office is
    thinking about charging 7 cents
    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 25 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving
    the car in the garage.





    I'm afraid to send my kids to the

    movies any more. Eve r 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
    $50,000 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're 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.




    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
    government.



    The fast food restaurant is
    convenient for a quick meal,
    but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.




    There is no sense going on short
    trips anymore for a weekend. It
    costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.




    No one can afford to be sick

    anymore. At $15.00 a day in
    the hospital, it's too rich for my blood.


    If they think I'll pay 30 cents
    for a haircut, forget it.

          i remember my old man telling me that when he was a kid, he'd pay 25 cents and get a burger, fries, and a root beer! unbelievable how times have changed and can't imagine what the future holds. just my guess but could be "burger, fries, and an iced tea, that'll be $50 even." holy sh@t and Wtf!
