A college student at a recent college football game challenged a senior citizen
sitting next to him, saying it was impossible for their generation to
understand this:
"You grew up in a different world," the student said, loud enough for the whole
crowd to hear. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, man has
walked on the Moon, our spaceships have visited Mars, we even have nuclear
energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing ...
and uh ....."
Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the senior citizen said,
"You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young; so we invented
them, you little twit! What are *you* doing for the next generation???"
