Subject: The Good Old Days (The Fifties)

* In the 50's we used to say that "The Atomic Age is here to stay"...
   These days though, ya gotta wonder if we are

* Movies have to be exciting now to draw people and make money...
   They start with the end of everything, then work up to a climax

* In the good old days women stayed at home and kept house...
   Now, they're in the House AND the Senate

* There was "downsizing" in the good old days too...
   Back then it meant a woman dieted and dropped a dress size or two

* In the good old days I got toys for Christmas...
   Now, I not only get clothes, but... I want them

* The term "Mad Money" used to mean a woman's hidden cash assets...
   Now, it refers to a psychiatrist's fee

* Years ago, colleges were know as "Fountains of Knowledge"...
   Well, they're still "fountains", but now all that flows is alcohol

* "Lover's Leap" meant a mountain where the jilted committed suicide...
   These days though, it's the distance between the twin beds

* I remember when parents hated Rock 'n Roll, then I despised Disco...
   And just when I thought it couldn't get worse, along came Rap

* In the good old days, I was young and foolish...
   Now, I am old and foolisher

* Women used to go the doctor to see if they could have a baby...
   Now, they gotta check with the landlord first

* Back then we had leaders who could change the course of history...
   With today's apathy, it's a student taking an exam who does that
