A friend of
mine spent that whole year at Camp Younghans, Japan.
I was in Sciotoville when it was a
really nice place.

Did you hear the post office
is
thinking
about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter?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 25 cents a gallon? Guess we'd be better off
leaving the car in the garage.
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 $50,000 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're 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.
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 government.The fast food restaurant
is
convenient
for a quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch
on.
There is no sense
going on short
trips anymore for a
weekend. It costs nearly $2 a night to stay in a
hotel.
No one can
afford to be sick
anymore. At $15 a day
in the hospital, it's too rich for my blood.If they think I'll pay 30
cents for a haircut, forget
it.Know any
friends who would get
a kick out of these, pass this
on!Be sure and send it to
your kids
