Feeling old yet?

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of this year's incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list:

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1986.

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine.

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

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 can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

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".

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list.

 

thats not fair, i know im not that old, but i knew all those things, but i cant remember where mork was from. i can remember him sitting upside-down at the beginning of the show though

and whats- They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane, Boss, de plane".
hopefully that will show im not too old

 

just thought maybe im old enough to be loosing my memory

 

You can always ask mindy...
(he's from Ork, nanoo nanoo)

 

....and I've got underwear older than every one of them.

 

thanks Fire-Ant. nanoo nanoo to you too

 

senility prayer

 

heck I remember all of that And I am still not old

 

What's a Mork? What's a CD? What's a PC? What's a Yoda? Why would you walk a mile with a camel to see who shot a JR at McDonalds in a styrofoam shuttle wearing SgtMaxx's old underwear Who's preying on the senile

 

So how old is old? I thought one was as young as they feel. So, those of u that are "over the hill" here is a little exercise program just for u.


Work out with a potato sack .............

This is for older people. Younger people may try it at their own risk. This is working well for me.

For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for building your arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this Three days a week.

Begin by standing straight, with a 5-LB. potato sack in each hand. Extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can-try to reach a full minute. Relax.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks, and then 50-LB. potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-LB. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight out for thirty seconds.

After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in the bags.

 

LOL!! LOL!! Starting tomorrow!!

 

Two elderly women were eatiing breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and she said "Mabel, did u know u have a suppository in ur left ear?". Mabel answered, "I have?" "A suppository?" She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, "Ethel, I am glad u saw this thing. Now I think I know where my hearing aid is."

 

Two elderly ladies hbad been friends for many decades. Ovver the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Latelyh their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me -I know we have been friends for a long time but I just cannot think of yur name! I have thought and thought but cannot remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said "How soon do y9u need to know?".


THE SENILITY PRAYER - Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway; the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
