My 1 day
employment

So after landing
my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter,
a good find for
many retirees, I lasted less than a day...
About two hours
into my first day on the job a very loud,
unattractive,
mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids,
yelling
obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
I said
pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart.
Nice children you
have there. Are they twins?'
The ugly
woman stopped yelling long enough to say,
'Hell no, they
ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7.
Why the hell
would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or stupid?'
So I replied,
'I'm neither
blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn't believe someone slept with you
twice.
Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'
My supervisor
said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.

Not sure how many times this has gone around, might have to add a few
years to Grandpa or Grandma's age but not many......
How Old Is Grandpa or Grandma?

Stay
with this -- the answer is at the end.
One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current
events.
The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings
at schools,
the computer age, and just things in general.
The Grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute,"
I was born before:
television
penicillin
polio shots
frozen foods
Xerox
contact lenses
Frisbees and
the pill
There were no:
credit cards
laser beams or
ball-point pens
Man had not invented:
pantyhose
air conditioners
dishwashers
clothes dryers
and the clothes were hung out to
dry in the fresh air and
man hadn't yet walked on the moon

Your
Grandmother and I got married first, . ... . and then lived
together.
Every family had a father and a mother.
Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir".
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a
title, "Sir."
We were before computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and
group therapy.
Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment and
common sense.
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to
stand up and take responsibility for our actions.
Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a
bigger privilege.
We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your
cousins.
Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze
started.
Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and
weekends - not purchasing condominiums.

We
never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, or
yogurt ...
We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on
our radios.
And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to
Tommy Dorsey.
If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk
The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school
exam..
Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.
We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5
and 10 cents.
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were
all a nickel.
And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on
enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.
You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, . .. . but who could afford
one?
Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.
In my day:
"grass" was mowed,
"coke" was a cold drink,
"pot" was something your mother cooked in
and
"rock music" was your
grandmother's lullaby.
" chip" meant a piece of wood,
"hardware" was found in a hardware
store and
"software" wasn't even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed
a husband to have a baby.
No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a
generation gap and how old do you think I am?
I bet you have this old man in mind...you are in for a shock!
Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at
the same time.
Are you ready ?????
This person would be only 61 years old.
