"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 2 weeks' groceries for $20."

"Have you seen the new cars coming out
next year? It won't be long before $2000
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 75 cents,
nobody will be able to hire outside help at
the store."

"When I first started driving, who would have
thought gas would someday cost 17 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" or
"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."

just signed a contract for $75,000 a year

someday they'll be making more than the
president."

appliances would be electric. They are even

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 just 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 $4 a
night to stay in a hotel."

"No one can afford to be sick any more; $35
a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."

forget it."
