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!
