    We didn't have toys, so they would cut the bottom out of our pockets so we had something to play with.

    The weather channel was a camera panning back and forth showing temp, humidity, wind speed, time of day. And the local weather guy on TV told you what had happened in the last 24 hours, what was going on at the moment, and did not bother guessing what was coming

    I remember when your mom sent you to the corner grocerer with a list and you just told the clerk to put it on your family bill.

    I remember collecting enough pop bottles for deposit so I could go to Grey Drug & buy a Lindberg model for 29 cents, plus a candy bar & a bottle of root beer. Simpler times. :)

    My '63 Mini didn't have a supercharger, it did have a side draft Weber carburetor whose velocity stacks stuck out the speedometer hole. Talk about a noisemaker!

    I dunno, "What is it girl? Jeff's down the well?" just doesn't have the same ring to it as, "What is it girl? Timmy's down the well?"

    That dog must have been great at charades!

    Yer older 'n dirt if you forgot to think of something else yer older than...

    When yer older 'n dirt ya look for anything entertaining to take yer mind off'n being old so what else is better than a daily dose of funny old stuff.
