:)
"I'll tell you one thing, if things
keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's
groceries for $20."
"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It
won't be long before $2000 will only buy a used one."
"If cigarettes
keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
"Did you h ear the post office is thinking about charging a dime
just to mail a letter?"
"If they raise the minimum wage to $1,
nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
"When I first started
driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess
we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.."
"Kids today are
impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next
thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."
"I'm
afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever 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 $75,000 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 are even making electric typewriters
now."

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."

Hollywood stars seem to be gettin g divorced at the drop of a hat."
"I'm just 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 congress."
"The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice
weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
"There is
no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a
night to stay in a hotel."
"No one can afford to be sick any more;
$35 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."
"If they think
I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it."
