A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football
game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next
to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his
generation. 'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost
primitive one,' the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby
to hear; 'The young people of today are much more advanced than people
your age. We grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man
Walking on the moon and the internet. We have cell phones, nuclear
energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers, automated manufacturing,
amazing. technologies, ...and,' pausing to take another drink of beer.
The senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and
said, ‘You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were
young... so we invented them.
Now, you arrogant little wimp, what are YOU doing for the next
generation? The applause was resounding... I love senior citizens
