'Did you see where some baseball player just signed
a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It

'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances
would be electric. They are even making electric
typewriters now.'
'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see
where a few married women are having to work
to make ends meet.'
'It won't be long before young couples are 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 $15 a night
to stay in a hotel.'
'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'
'No one can afford to be sick any more; $35 a day
in the hospital is too rich for my blood.'
(They charged $3,684.00 a day for a ROOM today.)
