    If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious!

    When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning....
    Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways… yadda, yadda, yadda

    And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay
    a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
    But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
    And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!


    I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!


    There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen!
    Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

    Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!


    There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!


    Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car.. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig?


    We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!


    There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOD !!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.


    And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

    We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We
    had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

    You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?!


    There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait
    ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-finks!

    And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that!

    And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!
    And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were luckily, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!
    See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or any time before!

    Regards,
    The Over 30 Crowd

    ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659 ---
    A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus.
    She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.
    She immediately moved to another seat.
    This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.
    The man seemed more amused.
    When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing,
    she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

    The case came up in court.


    The judge asked the man (about 20 years old)
    what he had to say for himself.

    The man replied,
    'Well your Honor, it was like this:
    when the lady got on the bus,
    I couldn't help but notice her condition.
    She sat down under a sign that said,
    'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned.
    Then she moved and sat under a sign that said,
    'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile.
    Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said,
    'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself.
    But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time
    and sat under a sign that said,
    'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!'
    ... I just lost it.'

    'CASE DISMISSED!!'

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    Have you ever wondered if the one dollar bills
    In your wallet were ever in a stripper's butt crack?
    If not, you're wondering now. Have a nice day ...

    So always remember to wash your hands after handling money
    That's my public service announcement for the day.
