Came across this and thought we need a little humor during out frequent breaks from studying......we need MORE breaks than the youngens.....you know what I mean
Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things.
The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1987 . They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
The CD was introduced the year they were born.
They have always had an answering machine
They have always had cable.
Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws!
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from
They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".
McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter
Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate
That is funny! I told my 13-year-old niece that I had some tapes and she was like "TAPES?!?". And then her friends thought I was her mother! I'm only 27....I hope I don't look that old to them. I remember thinking that 27 was really old and 40 was ancient. Now that I am getting closer to 40 I don't think it is that old anymore
Who remembers where they were when JFK was shot? Who was ALIVE when JFK was shot?
I was in my 8th grade second period music class, when a student came in and told my teacher that JFK had been shot. Next period, my Math teacher told us he died. BTW that's the day that I pierced my own ears (My parents were too distracted to say no)
Also, approximately two years previously in the 6th grade, our class walked 5 blocks to a major street where we witnessed JFK passing by. He stood up and waved to us.
Does anyone remember doing drills in case of a nuclear bomb, in school? I remember in elementary school, the alarms going off and we had 3 seconds to huddle under our desks. The teacher would clock us. We would listen to talk about if the Russians were going to start nuclear war from parents, etc.
Speaking of which, I have to wonder, how would a child huddling under her desk be protected if a nuclear bomb went off?
No, but I remember my fourth grade teacher saying "when Cuba becomes the next state" and I asked, "but what if it doesn't". She said, "Oh, it will". End of conversation
Ok I know I'm old when I remember only 4 channels on TV. I needed this laugh for today. Really we need a laugh everyday just to make it through pre-nursing school.
What about watching "The Wizard of Oz" every year when it came on regular TV....and watching it on a Black & White set with rabbit ears that really didn't work? :rotfl:

When I used to tell my brother's kids that we had no VCRs and no color, they'd answer, "Noooo! No way!"
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" premiered in my life. And every single child in the USA was home watching it that night.
Then there's my dad remembering seeing "The Wozid of Oz" in the theater when it was released in what, 1937? And Technicolor was still new and when Dorothy leaves her house after landing in Oz it goes to a color movie and he remembers everyone in the whole theater gasping.

How 'bout when the TV would go off and they would play the national anthem?
Now, I don't remember this but my husband does, anybody remember sitting in front of the TV staring @ an indian head waiting for a program to come on?
