Comments Made in the Year 1955!
That's only 54 years ago! What's
it going to be like, in another 50 years?
''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 worth of
groceries for $15.00.''
''Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't
be long before $2,000.00 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
nickel just to mail a letter?''
''If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, 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.''
''It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I 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.''
''Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more. Those Hollywood
stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat.''
''I'm 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 for a weekend to any of the big
cities, anymore. It costs nearly $15.00 a night for two
people to stay in a nice hotel or motel, and eat dinner out,
someplace.''
''Nobody can afford to be sick, anymore. At $5.00 a day for
a hospital stay, it's too rich for my blood.''
''If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget
it.'' |
