'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
$10.00.

'Have you seen the new cars
coming out next year?
It won't be long before
$1, 000.00 will only buy
a used one.

'If cigarettes keep going up
in price, I'm going to quit.
20 cents
a pack is ridiculous.

'Did you hear the post office
is thinking about charging
7 cents
just to mail a letter

'If they raise the
minimum wage
to $1.00,

nobody will be able to
hire outside help at the
store.

'When I first started driving,
who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents
a gallon.

Guess we'd be better off
leaving the car in the garage.

'I'm afraid to send my kids
to the movies any more
Ever since they
let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN
in GONE WITH THE WIND,
it seems every new movie
has either HELL or DAMN
in it.

'I read the other day where
some scientist thinks it's
possible to put
a man on the moon
by the end of
the century.

They even have some
fellows they call astronauts
preparing for it down inTexas .

'Did you see where some baseball player just signed
a contract for
$50,000 a year
just to play ball?

It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making
more than the
President.

'I never thought
I'd see the day
all our kitchen appliances
would be electric.

someone to watch their kids
so they can both work.

'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car
is going to open the door to a
whole lot of foreign business.

'Thank goodness I won't live
to see the day when the Government
takes half our income
in taxes.
I sometimes wonder if we are
electing the best people to
government.

'The drive-in restaurant
is convenient in nice weather,
but I seriously doubt they
will ever catch on.

'There is no sense going
on short trips anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly
$2.00 a night to stay
in a hotel.

'No one can afford to be sick
anymore, at $15.00 a day in
the hospital, it's too rich for
my blood.'

'If they think I'll pay 30 cents
for a hair cut, forget it.'
