Ohhh That's a good one ...

Got this in email

Good one:

A very self-important college freshman at a recent USC 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 own.

"You grew up in a different, actually almost primitive, world," the

student said loud enough for the whole crowd to hear. "We young people today grew up

with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our

spaceships have visited Mars... We even have nuclear energy, electric

and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing .... and uh.."

Taking advantage of a pause for breath in the student's litany, the "wizened" one said,

"You're right, Son. We didn't have those things when we were

young...so we invented them.. you arrogant little shithead!! Now....

what are you doing for the next generation??"
