Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things...

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1987.

They are too young to remember the first space shuttle blowing up on lift-off.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine.

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the 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: 'Where's the Beef?', 'I'd walk a mile for a Camel', or 'de plane, Boss, de plane'.

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list. Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading...

[Sharon G]

Brilliant Karen....should I admit to that???

[kaysvacationvilla]

That was great. I will have to show it to my husband.[msnwink] He is 6 years older than I

[Karen]

Glad you all liked it. Some of the things it is hard to imagine people not knowing, like who shot J.R? It was SUCH a big event (even though totally trivial[msntongue])

Having just got glasses for reading this bit really made me laugh

Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading...

I can really relate to that (unfortunatly [msnwink])

[emm]

Very good Karen. I can relate to all of it. [msneek]
