'When I first  started driving, Who would have  thought gas would someday cost 29cents a  gallon.. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

'I'm  afraid to send my kids to the movies any more..Ever since  they let Clark Gable get by with saying  DAMN in GONE WITH  THE WIND,  It seems  every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in  it.

'I read the  other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to  put a man on the moon by the end of the  century. They even have some  fellows they call astronauts preparing for it  down in Texas .

'Did you  see where some baseball player just signed a contract for  $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if  someday they'll be making more than  the President.
