Comments made in the year 1955!
‘I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for $20.00.
‘Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?
It won’t be long before $2,000.00 will only buy a used one.
‘If cigarettes keep going up in price, I’m going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.
‘Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?
‘If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store. ‘
‘When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon.. Guess we’d be better off leaving the car in the garage.
‘I’m afraid to send my kids to the movies any more.. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.
‘I read the other day where some scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .
‘Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn’t surprise me if someday they’ll be making more than the President.
‘I never thought I’d see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now.
‘It’s too bad things are so tough nowadays.. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.
‘It won’t be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.
‘I’m afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.
‘Thank goodness I won’t live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress.
‘The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
‘There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.
‘No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital it’s too rich for my blood.’
‘If they think I’ll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.’

Unemployment news not in the news.....from Rico
This is some ugly unemployment news that is pretty much being 'ignored' in the news. Go figure! The Pravda-esque media...er, Ministry of Truth...doesn't want to make "the Won" look bad, or to scare you.
Since the gooberment 'jiggered' the way unemployment numbers were calculated in the 1990's (to make the numbers seem lower) there has been a iscrepancy between fantasy and reality, phony and actual.
And while only 20% of American adults between 21-65 have a bachelors degree or higher, they are still far better off now than the rest of the population re: unemployment but I do not expect to see any headlines saying "Stupid and lazy hit hardest by unemployment" anytime soon.
- I am already seeing headlines crowing that college graduates are being "hit" as if our beloved media was celebrating like Palestinians that "now 'they' are getting their just desserts, aren't they?" Just like tax-the-rich, the socialists hate accomplishment and achievement and are positively gleeful when they have the opportunity to tear-down rather than build-up.

War Song: (Original song: Your Song by Elton John)
It’s a little bit sickening this feeling inside
As the planes both came from out of the skies
They hit the Trade Centre and boy it was big
The day that hell came to where we live
He says he’s religious, but then again no
Osama Bin Laden and his bloodthirsty show
Shouting with joy that his God is so great
The dead are the victims of all his hate
And he will blame everybody, this is his way
He’s gone and killed so many but still he’s not done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How sad are the tears now all through the world
I sat in my lounge turned down the sound
I saw so many buildings been razed to the ground
But the world’s been so kind, it’s been so strong
As we wait for survivors to come back home
So excuse me for speaking but these things I feel
I’m still not sure if what I saw was real
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
This was the saddest thing I've ever seen.
And he will blame everybody, this is his way
He’s gone and killed so many but still he’s not done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How sad are the tears now all through the world
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How sad are the tears now all through the world

Senior Golfer Rules Changes........
Rule 1.a.5
A ball sliced or hooked into the rough shall be lifted and placed on the fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into the rough with no penalty. The senior should not be penalized for tall grass which ground keepers failed to mow.
Rule 2.d.6 (b)
A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed not to have hit the tree. This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The senior player must estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it had not hit the tree and play the ball from there.
Rule 3.b.3(g)
There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually be found and pocketed by someone else, making it a stolen ball. The player is not to compound the felony by charging himself or herself with a penalty.
Rule 4.c.7(h)
If a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is deemed to have dropped. The law of gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf.
Rule 5.
Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches from the hole. No one wants to make a travesty of the game.
Rule 6.a.9(k)
There is no penalty for so-called "out of bounds." If penny-pinching golf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur. The senior golfer deserves an apology, not a penalty.
Rule 7.g.15(z)
There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should float. Senior golfers should not be penalized for manufacturers' shortcomings.
Rule 8.k.9(s)
Advertisements claim that golf scores can be improved by purchasing new golf equipment. Since this is financially impractical for many senior golfers, one stroke per hole may be subtracted for using old equipment.
Please advise all your senior friends of these important rule changes. Carry a copy with you at all times, to refer to with those non seniors.
