A stunning senior moment
Apparently, a self-important college
freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to a
senior citizen sitting next to him why it was
impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
You grew up in a different world, actually an
almost primitive one', the student said, loud enough for many
of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of
today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel,man walking on the moon.
Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, ships and
electric and hydrogen cars, cell phones, computers with light-speed
processing...and more.'
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as
follows: 'You're right, son. We didn't have
those things when we were
young........so we invented them. Now,
you arrogant little snot, What are you doing for the next generation?'
The applause was amazing.......
