HOORAY FOR THE SENIOR  GENERATION

 A very self-important college freshman at 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 own.

"You grew up in a different, actually almost  primitive, world," the
 student said loud enough for the whole crowd to  hear. "We young people
 today grew up with television, jet planes, space  travel, man walking on
 the moon, our  spaceships have visited Mars...We  even have nuclear
 energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with  light-speed
 processing and uh.."

 Taking advantage  of a pause for breath in the student's litany, the
"wizened" one said,  "You're right, Son.  We didn't have those things
 when we were  young........so we invented them...... you arrogant little
 shithead!!   Now......what are YOU doing for the next generation??"

I love senior citizens
