Dang, I started feeling older when I began to hear songs that were new when I was a teenager on classic rock radio. I'm not old enough for that to be happening yet!
I remember a good friend of mine commenting that his oldest daughter (same age as my dad) had turned 50. He looked at his wife of 55 years and said "How did that happen, heck, WE'RE not that old!"

I feel old when I hear kids say, "Elvis Presley? Who's that?", "Two bits? what are bits?", "A sawbuck? Is that part of a saw?", "Milkman? Is that the guy that milks the cows?", "Shave and a haircut? You mean the barber used to shave you too?".

Got a new service manager where I work. Real hard charging Marine. Told him I was in the Corps, he asked when I went in. He said "Oh, that is the year I was born!"

2)When Speer discontinued my favorite 275 gr. 338 bullet.
3) When I had to throw out my last empty can of Hercules Bulls Eye.

Beware of man who types much, but says nothing.
Dirt.
Yeah, we beta tested dirt for the Army digging foxholes and filing sandbags. Lots of foxholes and a lot more sandbags. I think they have more sandbags than there is dirt.
Now I hear people say things 'older than dirt'. So, just what am I supposed to think? Huh?
It ain't rocket science, it's boolit science.
Rocks are older than dirt.

Too many instances to list, but it really irritated me (at the educations system) when my grand-daughter didn't know who Jimmy Doolittle was.
And 'That was the year I was born' was laid on me 40 years ago!

My father in law, God rest his kind soul, had a horse drawn milk route in Philadelphia. He said when he first started to do the route, the horse knew where to stop. He didn't have to sweat the addresses. He did this when he was in his early twenties. What a guy. I still miss him. Mike
Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reason. Benjamin Franklin
