Tough Times Ahead

I got so tired of my friends telling me that I lived in the dark ages, that for 2009 I made a resolution to get with it. Here are the changes that I've made so far.

1. Got rid of my floor model AM Motorola radio and bought a new AM, FM radio. Whatever that means

2. Threw out my 10 inch (with magnifying glass mounted on the front) black and white TV and got a brand new 16 inch color TV. Even the rabbit ears has a dial for fine tuning.

3. Junked my crank driven Victrola for a state-of-the-art 8 track stereo. STEREO. I guess that means you can listen with both ears.

4. Had to discard my Smith-Corona typewriter and replaced it with a word processor.

5. Donated my zoot suits to charity. Went out and purchased a few pairs of nifty tie-dyed bell bottom jeans.

6. I even went out and got a Beta video recorder for my new TV.

7. Alas, the old ice box was the next to go. Sorry ice-man but my new electric refrigerator doesn't need you anymore.

8. The Franklyn stove was the next to go. Replaced by a state-of-the-art gas range. It even has an oven!

9. I even bought a brand new Commodore 64 computer. Had to buy a floppy drive as an added attraction.

After looking around my house and seeing all the improvements I was thrilled. So thrilled, in fact, that I immediately jumped into my Model A Ford, drove to the nearest Rexall drug store for film for my Kodak Brownie camera and took pictures of all my changes.

Now I'd like to hear my friends say that I live in the dark ages!! I'm as hi-tech as you can get!

This comes from my own warped sense of humor. There are a ton of funny things rolling around in my brain. I love writing funny articles and I enjoy making people laugh. If you would like to read more of my off-beat humor please let me know. I will be more that happy to write for you.
