"Those Were The Days . ." joke
For those born before 1945:
Consider the changes we witnessed. We were before TV, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, xerox, plastic, contact lenses, and the pill. Also before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser beams, and ball-point pens. Before dryers, air-conditioners, dip-dry clothes, and before man walked on the moon.
We got married first and then lived together.
In our time closets were for clothes, fast food was what you ate during a fast. We were before house husbands, gay rights, computer-dating, dual careers, and computer marriages. We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, artificial hearts, word processors, e-mail, yoghurt, and guys wearing earrings. For us timesharing meant togetherness. A chip meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hardware, and software was not even a word.
In 1940' Made in Japan' meant junk and the term' making out' referred to how you did in exams. Pizzas, and instant coffee were unheard of.
Smoking was fashionable, grass was mowed, coke was a cold drink, and pot was something you cooked in and aids were helpers.
We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes was discovered but we were surely before the sex change. We made do with what we had. And we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you needed a husband to have a baby.
No wonder we are so confused. But we survived the generation gap. What better reason to celebrate?
