How true!

Being one of the 'older generation' I was amused to read this little story - sent to me by a friend in the UK, who recieved it from a friend in the USA. I bet it will make the older ones among you smile too!

Subject: I Wish I'd Said That...But My Mind Never Worked That Fast

A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game,
took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him
why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his
generation. "You grew up in a different world, actually an almost
primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby
to hear. "Young people today grew up with television, jet planes,
space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars.
We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with
light-speed processing and...," pausing to take another drink of beer.

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said,
"You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were
young........so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little sh*t, what
are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding...
