Subject: Have you noticed.....
>Have you ever noticed that when you're of a certain age, everything seems
>uphill from where you are? Stairs are steeper. Groceries are heavier. And,
>everything is farther away? Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was
>dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become! And, you know,
>people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in
>whispers all the time!
>If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly
>mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face!
>
>What do they think I am, a lip reader? I also! think they are much
younger
>than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so
>much older than I am.
>
>I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she
>didn't even recognize me. I got to thinking about the poor dear while I
was
>combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced ! at my own
>refection
>Well, REALLY NOW even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
>Another
>thing, everyone drives so fast today! You're risking life and limb if you
>just happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them.
>All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see
>them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
>Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they
>suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think
no
>one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips,
thighs,
>and bosom?
>The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in
>reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial?
>HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people
>think they're fooling?
>I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on ---but
the
>telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone
>books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!
>All I can do is pass along this warning: Maturity is under attack! Unless
>something drastic happens, pretty soon "everyone" will have to suffer
these
>awful indignities.
>PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET
THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
