“Did you know the banjo player didn't actually play the banjo? It was another person. The guy who portrayed the banjo player will be appearing in another film soon. At least that's what I heard on the radio.”

“you know you're old when you have to make up stories about women strapping you to the bed...LOL

“Building on laqtis' theme; you have old clothes in your closet that are "Retro" now.”

“You know your old when you ask the question. "Why is that boy's pants down to his knees and his underwear hanging out - how does he walk? "”

“You know you're old when you can remember when IRS taxes were due on March 15th.

You are old if you can remember when there were no IRS taxes.

Do you know when the changes took place?

“Excellent. I don't remember any of those events. I guess all I know is that YOU'RE old. lol. Glad you're back from wherever you went.”

“Income taxes first enacted during the Civil War, then repealed. Made permanent in 1913.

And I didn't check your answers yet.

My office has a copy of the first Individual Tax Form. It's one page, including the instructions.

Can't remember what the rate was.”

“One of my kids once asked me if when I was little whether we had cars or did we have to ride horses?

This led to a discussion of what she has vs. what I had;


no remote control
no microwave, the she wondered how we heated up leftovers
no cordless phones
etc, etc”

“Our first phone number that I remember was 7R14 (a long a 2 shorts). I remember party telephone lines where you had to ring central to connect with someone on a different line. And, yes, the operator did listen in. We didn't have running water til I was in high school. We hauled water and heated it on a wood burning stove for saturday night baths. We bathed in a small galvanized metal tub and, with 6 boys, water was changed only for every other kid. In the summer we bathed in the river. We, as did most, had a proverbial outhouse. Stunk like hell in the summer, not to mention the wasps and hornets that built nests in them. When it's 40 below in the middle of a winter night and you have to make that cold and lonely walk to the house takes a real commitment. Scraping the ice off that wooden seat and squatting down, completely believing in that dark and lonely moment that there really is a boogey man.”

“I vaguely remember having a party line in my house when I was real real little, but I'm sure i never used it.”

“The real party line in my house was "Dad is always right."”

“Geez-us - you scared the carp out of me! I thought I'd missed the tax date!

whew....glad I'm not a corporation!”

“I find it ironic that corporate taxes are due on the Ides of March.

"....Beware, the Ides of March...."”

“"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. -- C. S. Lewis”

“Iraq anyone?”

“Great quote, Nowslimmer. Lewis certainly had "old soul" wisdom.”

“...you remember that your school desk had an ink well, which you used.

...you remember those days before ball point pens existed.”
