AT CLOVIS ARMY AIR BASE in Clovis, N.M., during World War II, several of us, including the Catholic chaplain, were watching boxing matches at the base gymnasium. We noticed one boxer make the sign of the cross before answering the bell for the first round. An officer leaned over to the chaplain and asked, "Tell me, padre, does that really help?" "It will," the chaplain said, "if he can fight." -- Contributed to Reader's Digest "Humor In Uniform" by C. J. Ammann

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

Moans and Groans Heard in The Fifties

I'll tell you one thing. If things keep going the way they are,
it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.

Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It
won't be long when $3000 will only buy a good used one.

If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be
able to hire outside help.

When I first started driving, who would have thought
gas would someday cost 40 cents a gallon.

There's no sense going into the city anymore for a
week-end, what with hotels charging $8.00 per room.

If a few idiots want to risk their necks flying across
the country that's fine, but nothing will ever replace trains.

If they think I am going to pay 50 cents for a hair
cut, forget it. I'll have my wife learn to cut hair.

Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts
make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know,
boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls.

Also, their music drives me wild. This 'Rock Around The
Clock' thing is nothing but racket.

Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of
the country?

I'll tell you one thing. If my kid ever talks back to me,
they won't be able to sit down for a week.

No one can afford to be sick any more, $35 a day in the
hospital is too rich for my blood.

Why in the world would you want to send your daughter to college?
Isn't she going to get married? It would be different if she could be a doctor or a lawyer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our list of "Things heard in the 50's" has gotten longer thanks
to Mykell Jackman Brewer. We'll be adding more as
time goes on. Enjoy!

The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune.
Irish Proverb

Once a woman thinks her work is done....she becomes a grandmother.

This grandma has the perfect attitude!

"Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination." --Barbara Grizutti Harrison

"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge." --Albert Einstein

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
