Good morning.

“.28 cents" should have been ".28 cent," or almost 3 mills!

You know you're old when

the car you sat in as a child with your parents is now a historical vechile.


Your children who are in their 20`s have no idea what a party line is.

The Ed Sullivan show on black and white t.v. Elvis' first appearance on television (but only from the waist up). Several years later....the Beatles.

Why would you buy green bananas, other than to fry them?

treebeast666 - A bunch of yellow bananas will overripen too fast for me. A bunch with a mixture will give me something to eat for several days as the green ones ripen.

Plantains are the type that are usually fried or baked.

Hyway to Hell - Correct.

He may have stolen it from Jack Benny.

But at Wikipædia, Benny is quoted thusly, "When you take a joke away from Milton Berle, it's not stealing, it's repossessing."


So there you go.

I heard a story once that Jack Benny's hometown of Waukegan Illinois named a junior high after him.  They had a dedication;  he flew out and planted a tree.

Sometime later the tree expired.  Bob Hope learned of this and is rumored to have pondered aloud:

"How can a tree live in Waukegan when the sap is in Hollywood?"
