A Senior Moment

A very 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 spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with DSL, BPS, light-speed processing .. and' ... pausing to take another drink of beer....

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, 'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young,.. so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are you doing for the next generation?'

The applause was deafening.

Don't you just love senior citizens...?

Loved it John!
And I second the motion on Berry's new "less is more" look.
Reminds me of that very comforting "keep it simple" rule.....
Love, Chris

I have little hair in the first place so I keep it shaved most of the year.  I enjoy not having to go to the barber.  Thanks guys.

Very Jean Luc Picard.  I like it too.

  Oh how many times while riding a chair lift with the 20-something snow boarders talking about the new paradigm shift; under my breath.."you arrogant little shit!' Then I remember how my elders looked at me ...riding a chair lift and talking about the paradigm shift...Did I hear that?

  Nice look Berry  Cool
