When I was your age...

"When I was your age, I paid $2 a gallon for gas," said one old man to another who was only one year younger.

 

Painfully true.

 

I remember when I could buy gas for .25 a gallon any day of the week. When I left Texas in 1969, I filled up for .19 a gallon.

 

Unfortunately true. I remember $.90 /gal when I was a youngster making $3.35 an hour...

 

Well Jim, when I get to be your age, gas will be ..... a gallon.

 

And you also sat in the car while the attendant pumped it.

 

They still do that in NJ.

 

That would be hilarious if it wasn't so true....






tp

 

I remember gas being around 55¢ a gallon in the late 1970's. I thought that was high.

 

I'm glad I don't drive that much.

 

When I was your age, dirt had just been invented.

 

I still do that when I want him to check my oil, afterwards.

 

I wonder what baseball was like back then "The pitch...is low and in the mud".

 

Mud wasn’t invented until I was 20.

 

That was a quick like @Sara-s -I JUST finished writing the d in mud.

 

You know how it is with us fast women.

 

I do now.
