We Must Protest!!!

THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!

We Must Organize to Stop This Immediately!

Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper?

Groceries are heavier.

And, everything is farther away.

Yesterday, I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover
how long our street had become!

And, you know, people are less considerate now--especially the young ones.

They speak in whispers all the time!

If you ask them to speak up, they just keep repeating themselves,
endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the
face!

What do they think I am--a lip reader?


I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age.

On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am.

I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that
she didn't even recognize me.


I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this
morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection.

Well, REALLY, NOW-- even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!


Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days!

You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the motorway
in front of them.

All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, judging
from the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear-view mirror...


Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days.

Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20?

Do they think no one notices?

The people who make  bathroom scales are pulling the same prank.

Do they think I actually believe the number I see on that dial?

HA!

I would never let myself weigh that much!

Just who do these people think they're fooling?


I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on but
the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the
phone books in such small   type that no one could ever find a number
in there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:

WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to
suffer these awful indignities.
