Remember 1957?

"Remember 1957?"

The following were some comments made in
the year 1957:

(1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the
way they are, its going to be impossible to buy
a weeks groceries for $20.00."

(2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out
next year? It won't be long when $5,000 will
only buy a used one."

(3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going
to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."

(4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about
charging a dime just to mail a letter?"

(5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody
will be able to hire outside help at the store."

(6) "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."

(7) "Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair
cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing
you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as
the girls."

(8) "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."

(9) "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."

(10) "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 that they will be
making more than the President."

(11) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen
appliances would be electric. They are even making
electric typewriters now."

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

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

(14) "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00
a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."

(15) "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to
open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."

(16) "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."

(17) "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice
weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."

(18) "I guess taking a vacation is out of the question
now days. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in
a hotel."
