Stitsh, thought you and some of the others might appreciate this silly e-mail I just got. I haven't been thinking of myself as old, but turning 40 in Nov. has left a few gray hairs.
Regards, Mark
Do you feel old?

born in

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
They never had a Polio shot, and likely, do not know what it is.
Bottle caps have not only always been screw off, but have always been
plastic.
They have no idea what a pull top can looks like.
Atari pre-dates them, as do vinyl albums.
The expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them.
They have never owned a record Player.
They have likely never played Pac Man, and have never heard of Pong.
There have always been Red M&M's, and Blue ones are not new.
What do you mean there used to be beige ones?
They may have heard of an 8-track, but chances are they probably have
never actually seen or heard one.

As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents.

Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels, nor have they
seen a black and white TV.
They have always had cable.
There have always been VCR's, but they have no idea what Beta is.
They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
They were born the year that Walkman were introduced by Sony.
The Tonight Show has always been with Jay Leno.
They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool.
Popcorn has always been cooked in a microwave.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
They never heard the terms "Where's the beef?", "I'd Walk a mile for
Camel", or "de plane, de plane!".
They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. is.

McDonalds never came in Styrofoam containers.
Do you feel old now? Remember, the people who don't know these things
