If you don't use your blinker because everyone already knows where you're going.

Default Comments made in the year 1955!

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
$2, 000.00 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 of 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 $75,000 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."

As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door.

The trucker lowers the window, and she says 'Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load.'

The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.

When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door.

Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly, 'Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!'

Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street.

At the third red light, the same thing happens again.

All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says 'Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!'

When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light.

When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde.

He knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says...

'Hi, my name is Kevin, it's winter in Maine, and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!'

There was a gentleman from Maine who worked hard his whole life and was totally faithful to his wife his entire life.
He knew he would find his reward in heaven when he came up to the "Pearly Gates", and it would all be worth the sacrifices he made for his wife and family.
The day came when he met Peter at the "Pearly Gates"! Peter looked over his actions while on Earth, and said, you sacrificed for your family and worked long hours to give your wife and family every comfort. Most important of all you were never unfaithful to your wife. You have earned a Mercedes to drive in heaven, because You never were unfaithful to your wife.
He couldn't believe he would finally drive a Mercedes, but Peter explained that here in heaven, the better wheels you have, show everyone what a faithful person you were to your spouse.

3 weeks later, Peter saw the gentlman from Maine in his Mercedes crying uncontrollably. He stopped and calmed him down finally and asked, what was wrong, why were you crying????
The Gentleman from Maine said, I JUST SAW MY WIFE GO BY ON A SKATEBOARD!
