Golden Memories

You know you're old if you can remember when:

  • prime minister was a respectable job.

  • if you were carrying a knapsack, you were either in the army or in the woods.

  • there were more pubs than coffee shops.

  • people didn't have dissenting opinions, they were Commie traitors.

  • the Canadian dollar was worth more than the American.

  • there was a pile of horseshit at every stop sign.

  • people weren't politically correct, they were Commie traitors.

  • you used to use the Bomb as an argument for having sex.

  • your family got its first television set.

  • people didn't want equal rights, they were Commie agitators.

  • if a newspaper quoted someone who used bloody as an adverb, they wrote it
    b----y.

  • the president of the United States made more money than the average major league ballplayer.

  • women didn't want equal rights, they were embittered spinsters.
But most of all, you know you're old if you can remember when:
  • John Kennedy gave a television address about Cuba and you thought you and everybody else were going to die within 48 hours – if you were lucky.
