Stan 386 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 A stunning senior moment Apparently, a self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation. 'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one', the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, ships and electric and hydrogen cars, cell phones , computers with light-speed processing...and more.' After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows: 'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young........so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little sh1t, what are you doing for the next generation?' The applause was amazing....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 That's a really meaningful comment, The Pianoman. I'll bet nobody has heard that one before. For the Nottstalgians who do like to read about England doing well, whether it be football or otherwise, England beat Spain 2-0. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
