'I'll tell you one thing, if things
keep going the way they are,
it's going to be impossible to

'Have you seen the new cars
coming out next year? It won't
be long before $1, 000.00 will
only buy a used one.


'If cigarettes keep going up in
price, I'm going to quit. 20 cents

thinking about charging 7 cents
just to mail a letter

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

movies any more Ever since they
let Clark Gable get by with saying

it seems every new movie has

Enjoyed the comments, Kevin, and heard a lot of them myself in 1955 when I was 10 years old. Ten years later I was out on my own and married. On our first trip to the supermarket, to buy a week's worth of groceries and household supplies, we spent $10 and walked away with 4 large paper bags filled to the top.

Say Goodbye to Mother.....

We were dressed, and ready to go out for the New Years Eve Party. We turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet, and put the cat in the backyard.

We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house. As we walked out the door, the cat we had put out in the yard, scoots back into the house. We didn't want the cat shut in the house. Because she always tries to eat the bird.

My wife goes on out to the taxi, while I went back inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, with me in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, my wife doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the night. So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon, 'He's just going upstairs to say Goodbye to my mother.'

A few minutes later, I get into the cab. 'Sorry I took so long,' I said, as we drove away. 'That stupid ***** was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her ass with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked! I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!'

The cab driver hit a parked car.
