Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 QUOTE's FROM THE FIFTIES Here are some quotes from people in the US during the 1950's, just a scant 50 years ago! 1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are,> it's going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20." 2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long> when $5000 will only buy a used one." 3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter> a pack is ridiculous." 4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?" 5) "The Government is wanting to get its hands on everything. Pretty soon it's going to be impossible to run a family business or farm." 6) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store." 7) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 40 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the> car in the garage." 8) "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail haircuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls." 9) "Also, their music drives me wild. This `Rock Around The Clock` thing is nothing but racket." 10) "Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a good 10 cent cigar." I may never see tomorrow; there's no written guarantee, And things that happened yesterday belong to history!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
