Ah, the good old days. Here are some quotes from the 1950's.......
I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are it's going
to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.
Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long until
$5,000 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 hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a
letter?
"The Government wants to get its hands on everything. Pretty soon it's going
to be impossible to run a family business or farm."
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
50 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.
Their music drives me wild. This "Rock Around The Clock" thing is
nothing but racket.
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 movie has a "hell" or "damn" in it.
It won't be long until couples are sleeping in the same bed in the
movies. What is this world coming to?
Marilyn Monroe is now showing her bra and panties, so apparently there are
no standards anymore.
Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a good 10 cent cigar.
I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man
on the moon by the end of the 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.
Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the country?
I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be
electric. Why, they are even making electric typewriters now.
