Boomers

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

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 shithead,

what are you doing for the next generation?"

I love Senior Citizens
