"1950s quotes"
Ah, the good old days. Here are some quotes
from people in the US during the 1950s.
"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the
way they are it's going to be impossible to buy
a weeks groceries for $20."
"Have you seen the new cars coming out next
year? It won't be long when $5,000 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 dime just to mail a letter?"
"The Government wants to get its hands
on everything. Pretty soon it's going to be
impossible to run a family business or farm."
"If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody
will be able to hire outside help at the store."
"When I first started driving, who would have
thought gas would someday cost 50 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 impossible to stay groomed. Next
thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as
long as the girls."
"Also, their music drives me wild. This 'Rock
Around The Clock' thing is nothing but racket."
"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 movie has a 'hell' or'damn in it."
"Also, it won't be long until couples are sleeping
in the same bed in the movies. What is this world
coming to?"
"Marilyn Monroe is now showing her bra and
panties, so apparently there are no standards
anymore."
"Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a good 10
cent cigar."
"I read the other day where some scientist thinks
it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end
of the 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."
"Do you suppose television will ever reach our
part of the country?"
"I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen
appliances would be electric. They are even
making electric typewriters now."
