My friend Laurie sent these comments for my wife who often tells me she was born during the wrong time. The comments are from the year 1955 (which is the year most of the scenes took place from one of my  favorite movies). Be the first person to name the movie and you’ll win EVERYTHING behind my garage! BTW, today also happens to be the anniversary of the first showing of the Price is Right!

That’s only 52 years ago!

 “I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s
 going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for $20.00.”
 “Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won’t be long
 before $2000.00 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 $1.00, nobody will be able to hire
 outside help at the store”.
 “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”.
 “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”.
 “Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for
 $75000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn’t surprise me if someday
 they’ll be making more than the President”.
 “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 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 $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel”.
 “No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital
 it’s too rich for my blood”.
 “If they think I’ll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it”.
