HAHAHA! That’s pretty funny.

It’s kinda funny how what used to be normal no longer is, and vice versa.

I think it’s interesting that in the 1950’s you would NEVER use course language at the table, but thought nothing of lighting up a cigarette right there at the table after dinner.

Now the opposite is true.

It really is. When I was a kid the DR made house calls and brought the medicine he might prescribe with him. He'd put it in one of those little white envelopes. My parents paid for all their insurance when Francis, the insurance man came around once a month to collect. My mother bought a vacuum cleaner (electrolux) encyclopedias, Fuller Brush and dinner ware from door to door salespeople. You'd starve to death today if you tried to sell door to door.
