Subject: RE: BS: 'you're so old...' jokes needed for 60th From: Dorothy Parshall Date: 14 Jun 09 - 12:18 PM When I was chronologically "60", I was totally unaware that I was meant to be "old". Jokes about age are ageism and as inappropriate in general as racist or ethnic jokes. When friends turn 50 or 60, I send them, or sing to them, to the tune of She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain: O, it's nifty to be ?? years of age All the youngsters think that you've become a sage And the oldsters born before you Think you're young and just adore you O, it's nifty.... Most people seem to be upset at these times and need to be cheered on rather than picked apart. Younger people tend to do the picking to make themselves feel better, without realizing they may someday get there themselves -- if they are lucky. |

Subject: RE: BS: 'you're so old...' jokes needed for 60th From: Naemanson Date: 24 Aug 08 - 05:41 AM I've got four more years until I turn 60. These jokes are just the jealous young kids wishing they had it as good as we do. As far as that long paste from artbrooks goes, it turns up every now and then. If I was teaching history I'd make it a project for the kids to figure out how much of it is actually true. Down through the years this letter has surfaced now and again usually making a point about our society going down hill. Before I was young enough to think it was accurate. Now I am old enough to see the inaccuracies. I hope to be able to teach American history some day and then I plan to make my kids research an accurate version of this. Should be fun. What follows are my own comments. Mostly I am trying to be light-hearted, not cynical or dismissive. Some of the sentiments are spot on. For example, I have always called an older person "sir" or "ma'am". I have always taken responsibility for my actions. But, as someone else pointed out already, there are plenty of the items in that list that are anachronistic. Television, penicillin, polio shots, and frozen foods were all available when I was a kid. My generation were the first to have the electronic babysitter (TV). I still remember getting the polio shot in grade school and I have a vaccination scar on my arm from one of the other abuses we had to put up with. You should see my wife's arm. She has two that look like a bullet passed through the limb! As for gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy, I have to agree. I don't remember when they showed up but some of them are way overdue (gay rights) and some are necessary because the economy sucks (dual careers). "Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, (not mine) 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." The last one were instilled by my parents. They didn't need religion to scare me into behaving. "Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege." Obviously the writer doesn't remember the sixties. S/He must have been there! But here is my point. Remember I am 56 years old. I was too young to participate in what was happening! "We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent." I gotta give him this one. My first encounter with Burger King was after boot camp. Of course, back then the Whopper really was big. Kareem Abdul Jabbar (famous basketball player) needed two hands to hold it. "Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins." I don't remember incest... *Grin* "Draft dodgers were people who closed their front doors when the evening breeze started." See my comment above about the sixties. This line indicates just how old this "letter" is. Draft dodging hasn't been a hanging offense since the 70s. "We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings." Hmm, when I was a kid I used to hear about guys who listened to fine music on the FM band because the clarity of the music beat AM all hollow... and rock'n'roll didn't need to be clear. My first tape deck (reel to reel) came to me from a guy who bought it from a PX in Viet Nam in the mid 60s. My high school had electric typewriters and pirates ALWAYS wore earrings. Didn't know about yogurt though. Yummy! "We listened to the 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." These lines put the writer back into the 40s and early 50s. As a child of the TV age presidents were ALWAYS on TV and ALWAYS interrupting the good TV shows. "If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk." I get endless fun telling my Japanese wife about this... as we watch our Japanese TV, drive our Japanese car, etc. "The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam." Actually it referred to what I wanted to do with several of the young ladies I went to high school with. Since then I have gotten old and fat. I'm guessing they did too. Anyone remember the term "submarine races"? I never used that term. I got it from my parents who must have been "making out" before I was born. I wonder, could that have led to my existence? Nah, my PARENTS wouldn't do anything like that! "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." Gotta give the original writer these though I think I remember early instant coffee. "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." I don't remember the cost of these things. The writer could be right. Plus, no matter how often my mother badgered me about writing thank you cards I never seemed to use the mail. Email is a real boon. "You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon." My first car, in 1972, was a 1967 Mustang convertible that I bought for $950. If the price had dropped that much in 5 years I doubt very much it sold for anything close to $600. I was 20 years old in 1972. I loved that car. I don't ever remember gasoline for $.11 a gallon. It seems to me it was around $.54 a gallon but I might have that mixed up with the price of cigarettes. When I was in grade school my mother used to ask me to walk up to the IGA to buy her another pack. Wasn't illegal then, just frowned upon. "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. "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office, "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." Gotta give most of this one to him. I didn't run into "grass" until I joined the Navy. "Coke" as a drug came along much later in my life, not that I used it. I was clean by then. "Aids" were also helpers in hospitals. "He's also right about hardware and software though it still holds for some people I know who refuse to have anything to do with computers. As for the baby thing all I knew for the longest time was that babies tended to have parents but how they got there was a mystery. Finding the truth of that one was a pleasure I still enjoy. |

Subject: RE: BS: 'you're so old...' jokes needed for 60th From: Mr Red Date: 22 Dec 07 - 05:33 AM my Grandmother was reputed to have said of her longevity (60 ish at the time) commenting on her own mothers life "I am older than my mother would be if she was still alive" to hoots of laughter of my parental generation - sadly I was but a twinkle at the time so only have the reports. And from a Peanuts cartoon "xyz is so old she can remember when digital watches didn't exist....." harsh but plausible. |

Subject: RE: BS: 'you're so old...' jokes needed for 60th From: Jim Carroll Date: 22 Dec 07 - 04:20 AM My favourite about getting old was recorded from a Welsh miner in the late 1950s. Three retired miners sitting on a park bench discussing how they would like to 'shuffle off this mortal coil'. The youngest (65) says, I would like to go up in one of these Sputniks I've been reading about, up in the sky; higher, higher, higher - then burn out - whoosh - that's how I'd like to go. The second in his early seventies said, "well, I'd like to get into one of these sports cars - 50mph, 60, 70, 80, 100mph, then bang! into a tree - that's how I'd like to go. The oldest one in his late eighties was silent, so the others asked, "How about you David, how would you like to go? "Well boys, you disappoint me; you have no ambition". "Well, how would you like to go?" "I'd like to be shot by a jealous husband". Jim Carroll |

I believe this was one of those where you sit around and make up verses until the fire burns down (or the beer run out [or both])! |

Subject: RE: BS: 'you're so old...' jokes needed for 60th From: dulcimer42 Date: 07 Feb 07 - 03:58 PM Recently, I was reading a book about a child in a foster home. She deeply missed a friend of her birth mother, a 61 year old lady who had always baked her a birthday cake, and had done many other kind things for her. Later in the book, her foster family had taken her someplace where she spotted the "dear OLD lady" whom she had loved so much. I almost quit reading the book!!! OLD LADY??? at 61?? |

Prince is so old that he had to put a hydrolic system on his guitar to make it squirt liquid out the end of the neck. ergo the need for the super bowl committee to have him perform behind a sheet in shadow. |

Subject: RE: BS: 'you're so old...' jokes needed for 60th From: Midchuck Date: 07 Feb 07 - 12:00 PM Many years ago, I was reading in one of H. Allen Smith's joke books, about two guys who met after many years, and one asked the other, "And how do you spend your time these days?" The answer came: "Peeing, and trying to remember the names of my friends." I distinctly remember thinking that that was funny. Then. Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: 'you're so old...' jokes needed for 60th From: Joe_F Date: 31 Oct 06 - 08:43 PM Ways to know you have reached a certain age: Before you do anything, you have to do something else, usually piss. Something that lasts a long time (say, a blanket) wears out, and you buy a new one, perhaps for the last time. The hair on top of your head, if any, is too sparse to hold back the hair in front, if any. The president of the United States is younger than you are. You get an extra meal when you floss your teeth. You see an obituary and say "Was that old bastard still alive?" |
