I don't know, but those Victoria's Secret models sure don't look old in cardigans.

Just in case you weren’t feeling too old today:

The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1991.

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

The CD was introduced two years before they were born.

They have always had an answering machine.

They have always had cable.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been microwaved.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

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’.

McDonald’s never came in Styrofoam containers.

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

Bruce, why you have to go and do that.

Was telling a friend the other day I only feel old cuz they make me feel old. After your post, I can't be in self-denial anymore.

I remember playing with CD players in an electronics store in school year 1982/1983. I bought one in 1986.

That's cause your a geek or a nerd or whatever the proper term is, this was for normal people.

This morning I took our visiting Labradog out for a walk. A group of trainees from the nearby RAF station had just emerged from the woods. 'Good morning, gentlemen' says I, which elicited the appropriate response from all but the only female member of the leading group. She just scowled.

The NCO i/c was a few paces behind and he said 'Good morning, sir'. Now, nobody ever calls me sir. It just doesn't happen.
I have to assume that it was my natural air of authority - stop laughing - or my prematurely grey hair.
OK, I admit it, I'm the wrong side of fifty and I probably do look old. There's nothing I can do about that but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it.
