Just in case you weren't feeling

too old today, this will certainly

change things. Each year the

staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin

puts together a list to try to give

the faculty a sense of the mindset

of this year's incoming freshmen.

Here's this year's list:

The people who are starting

college this fall across the

nation were born in 1989.

They are too young to remember

the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always

included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been

screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the

year they were born.

They have always had an

answering machine

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not

having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been

on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been

cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim

and thought about Jaws.

They can't imagine what

hard contact lenses are.

They don't know who Mork

was or where he was from.

They never heard: 'Where's the Beef?',

'I'd walk a mile for a Camel', or

'de plane, Boss, de plane.'

They do not care who shot J. R. and have

no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other

old fogies on your list. Notice the larger type,

that's for those of you who have trouble reading...

GAMES FOR WHEN WE ARE OLDER

1. Sag, you're It.
2. Hide and go pee.
3 . 20 questions shouted into your good ear.
4. Kick the bucket
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says Bend Over.
6 Musical recliners.
7. Simon says something incoherent.
8. Pin the Toupee on the bald guy

1. You sell your home heating system at a yard sale.
2. You have to write post-it note s with your kids' names on them.
3. You change your underwear after a sneeze.

O
1. Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
2. You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
3. Getting a little action means I don't need fiber today.
4. Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
5. An all-nighter means not getting up to pee!

Thoughts for the weeken
Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctr Alt Delete' and start all over?
Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off
If raising children was going to be easy, it never w ould have started with something called labor!

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.
But Most Of All, Remember !
A Good Fr iend Is Like A Good Bra. Hard to Find,
Supportive, Comfortable, And Always Close To Your Heart!

LONGEVITY

Married men live longer than single men do, but
married men are a lot more willing to die.

PROPENSITY TO CHANGE

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he
doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change,
and she does.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING
MARRIED

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me
in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next."
They stopped after I started doing the same thing to
them at funerals.

their "grown-up" life . . .I double-dog-dare-ya! Oh yeah, feel free to send us some nostalgia for our consideration to add. Won't that be fun?
