When I looked at the prices of 69 at Camero SS that was $3000 when I was 16, but they are now $30,000.

I am an Insurance agent, and it hit me when I started quoting people that were born when I graduated high school.

When I look in the mirror, and my hairline is not what I used to be.

When I got my first real job selling computers they were 386's, and a 256mb hard drive was huge.

When I started driving gas was $.89 a gallon.

Baseball players weren't all juiced up, and the good golf players were a little chubby.

Our telepone when I was a kid was a party line.

That's funny. I took a computer class a 'while' ago that dealt with the basic science of punchcards and how the computer read them. A hard drive at that time was the size of a washing machine. Two or three megabytes of storage. Incredible.

My first part time job was working at a small independent gas station. We would take the tire off the rim, and patch the tube or inside of the tubeless tire for $2. A gallon of gas was normally 32 cents. During a "gas war" we had gas for 23 cents a gallon.

That's not a typo.

Your back goes out more than you do.

When you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service. I've had this ability since dislocating my ankle 22 years ago. :-)

and for Scott (TripleF) : You consider coffee one of the most important things in life.
