 You tend to be successful at anything you try with Guiness. A social butterfly, you are great at entertaining a crowd with Guiness. They actually have Guiness Float in the questions! You spend too much time on the OFST. |
Danny Elfman wrote the best song for that scene. He’s a genius.
THE YEAR 1909
This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!
The year is 1909. One hundred years ago.
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1909 :
************ ********* ********* ******
The average life expectancy was 47 years.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
There were only 8,000 cars and only
144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower
The average wage in 1909 was 22 cents per hour.
The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year .
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,
A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME.
Ninety percent of all doctors had
NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which
Were condemned in the press AND the government as ‘substandard. ‘
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used
Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from
Entering into their country for any reason.
Five leading causes of death were:

5. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!!
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea
Hadn’t been invented yet.
There was no Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
Two out of every 10 adults couldn’t read or write.
Only 6 percent of all Americans had
Graduated from high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, “Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health.”
( Shocking? DUH! )
Eighteen percent of households had at least
One full-time servant or domestic help.
There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !
I am now going to forward this to someone else without typing it myself.
From there, it will be sent to others all over the world - all in a matter of seconds!
Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.
IT STAGGERS THE MIND
THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!! !
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears
with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were.
When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school
every morning Uphill... barefoot... BOTH ways
Yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,
there was no way in hell I was going to lay
a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it
and how easy they’ve got it!
But now that... I’m over the ripe old age of
thirty, I can’t help but look around and notice the youth of today.
You’ve got it so easy! I mean, compared to my
childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you
don’t know how good you’ve got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t have The Internet. If
we wanted to know something, We had to go to the damn library and
look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!
There was no email!! We had to actually write
somebody a letter, with a pen!
Then you had to walk all the way across the street and
put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
Stamps were 10 cents!
Child Protective Services didn’t care if our parents
beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had
permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!
There were no MP3’ s or Napsters! You wanted to
steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record
store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the
radio and the DJ’d usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car.
We’d play our favorite tape and “eject” it when finished and the tape
would come undone. cause that’s how we rolled dig?
We didn’t have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you
were on the phone and somebody else called they got a
busy signal, that’s it!
And we didn’t have fancy Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It
could be your school, your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug
dealer, a collections agent, you just didn’t know!!! You had to pick it up and take your
chances, mister!
We didn’t have any fancy Sony Playstation video
games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘asteroids’. Your guy was a little square! You
actually had to use your imagination! ! And there were no multiple levels or
screens, it was just one screen forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting
harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was
on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off
your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! There was no
Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning.. Do you hear what I’m
saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!
And we didn’t have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove ...
Imagine that!
That’s exactly what I’m talking about! You kids today have got it too easy.
You’re spoiled. You guys wouldn’t have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or before!
Regards,
The over 30 Crowd
My Dad had a remote control for the TV. It worked like this: “Freddie!!! Come in here and change the channel!!”
Ick.
World’s Shortest Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl ‘Will you marry me?’ The girl said,
‘NO!’ And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went
fishing and hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and scotch and
had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted
whenever he wanted.
THE
END
“The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year”
With Obama we will revisit these numbers.
I love a happy ending....
I liked the Turkey Hunt that followed...especially the “kill”....
