Comments made in the year 1955!?

I'll tell you one thing, if things?keep going the way they are,?it's going to be impossible to?buy a week's groceries for $10.00.


?

Have you seen the new cars??
coming out next year?? It won't
?be long before $2,000.00 will?only buy a used one.



?

If cigarettes keep going up in??
price, I'm going to quit; 20 cents
?a pack is ridiculous.?


Did you hear the post office is??
thinking about charging 7 cents
?just to mail a letter.


If they raise the minimum wage??
to $1.00, nobody will be able to
?hire outside help at the store.

When I first started driving, who??
would have thought gas would
?someday cost 25 cents a gallon.??Guess we'd be better off leaving??
the car in the garage.


I'm afraid to send my kids to the??
movies any more.? Ever since they
?let Clark Gable get by with saying?DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND,?it seems every new movie has?either HELL or DAMN in it.



?

I read the other day where some??
scientist thinks it's possible to put
?a man on the moon by the end of?the century. They even have some?fellows they call astronauts?preparing for it down in?Texas?.


Did you see where some baseball??
player just signed a contract for
?$50,000 a year just to play ball???It wouldn't surprise me if someday?they'll be making more than the?President.


I never thought I'd see the day??
all our kitchen appliances would
?be electric.? They're even making?electric typewriters now.


It's too bad things are so tough??
nowadays.? I see where a few
?married women are having to?work to make ends meet.


It won't be long before young??
couples are going to have to hire
?someone to watch their kids so?they can both work.


I'm afraid the Volkswagen car??
is going to open the door to a
?whole lot of foreign business.


Thank goodness I won't live to??
see the day when the Government
?takes half our income in taxes.? I?sometimes wonder if we are??
electing the best people to
?government.



?

The fast food restaurant is??
convenient for a quick meal,
?but I seriously doubt they?will ever catch on.


There is no sense going on short??
trips anymore for a weekend.? It
?costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay?in a hotel.?


No one can afford to be sick??
anymore.? At $15.00 a day in
?the hospital, it's too rich for?my blood.



?

If they think I'll pay 30 cents?for a haircut, forget it.
Know any friends?who would get a?kick out of these,?pass this on.? Be?sure and send it?to your kids and grandkids, too!??
