    I remember when fat people were just fat people and not rolled around airports.
    Somehow society now thinks they need to board a plain early with the 4 generations of family members.

    Fat is not a handicap, if you start walking to the plain early you can walk one like everyone else. God knows you can use the exercise you 6 fat bastards.

    Yes, I am stuck in the Atlanta airport.

    I remember when people respected the Police and never even thought of shooting them.

    You are older than dirt if you can name the vast majority of people in this video.

    ... if you can remember cigarette ads airing on the TV. (For those who can't, they used to run about as many ads for cigarettes as they do for ED pills now.) :eek:

    I remember when my 10th grade (1972) English teacher wore the white, pocketed, button down shirt sleeved shirts, with a soft pack of Lucky Strikes tucked inside the pocket. Totally visible to everyone, and apparently completely acceptable... Who cared, we at least knew where we could get a light.

    At least y'all got a store to switch to.
    I pitched a [complaint] to one of the guys working there, heck of a sense of humor, and he told me they wouldn't do a re-arrange for another 20 years. "You don't have to worry about it though, you'll be dead by then."

    Everything was closed Sundays, you actually had to plan for the weekend, if you ran out you went without.

    When the ice man delivered blocks of ice for the icebox. On a horse drawn wagon.We kids didn't know what an ice cream truck was at the time, but the ice man would always chip off a chunk of ice for all of us.
