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 $20.00.'
'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. A quarter a pack is
ridiculous.
'Did you hear the post office is
thinking about charging a dime 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 29
cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better
off leaving the car in the garage.'
'Kids today are impossible. Those duck
tail hair cuts make it impossible to
stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys
will be wearing their hair as long as
the girls.'
'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
of 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 $75,000 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 are 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.'
'Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more,
those Hollywood stars seem to be getting
divorced at the drop of a hat.'
'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
Congress.'
'The drive-in restaurant is convenient
in nice weather, but I seriously doubt
they will ever catch on.'
'There is no sense going to Lincoln or
Omaha anymore for a weekend, it costs
nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a
hotel.'
'No one can afford to be sick anymore,
at $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too
rich for my blood.'
'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a
hair cut, forget it.'
