Quote of the Day

A college student challenged a senior citizen, saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his. "You grew up in a different world," the student said. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers..." Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the geezer said, "You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young. So we invented them."

My Mom sends me a few of those "remember when" and "Top ten things you'll hear from a senior citizen" lists. I like this one, it turns the tables nicely.
