Not so long ago, this is what you would hear in passing:
* "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its' going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20."
* "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5000 will only buy a used one."
* "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
* "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
* "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
* "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 50 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
* "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."
* "Also, their music drives me wild. This 'Rock Around The Clock' thing is nothing but racket."
* "Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a good 10 cent cigar."
* "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
* "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the president."
* "Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the country?"
* "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
* "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."
* "It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
* "Marriage doesn't mean a thing anymore, Those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat."
* "I'll tell you one thing. If my kid ever talks back to me, they won't be able to sit down for a week."
* "Did you know the new church in town is allowing women to wear slacks to their service?"
* "Next thing you know is, the government will start paying us not to grow crops."
* "I'm just 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 congress."
* "Why in the world would you want to send your daughter to college? Isn't she going to get married? It would be different if she could be a doctor or a lawyer."
* "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
* "There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel."
* "Anymore no one can afford to be sick, $35 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."
* "If a few idiots want to risk their necks flying across the country that's fine, but nothing will ever replace trains."
* "I don't know about you but if they raise the price of coffee to 15 cents, I'll just have to drink mine at home."
* "If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it. I'll have my wife learn to cut hair."
* "We won't be going out much anymore. Our baby sitter informed us she wants 50 cents an hour. Kids think money grows on trees."
* "Cars which dim their lights by sensors, automatic transmissions, and who knows what else? Pretty soon they will drive themselves."
* "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its' going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20."
* "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5000 will only buy a used one."
