One of the matrons of the church was cooking a pot of her famous beans for the church potluck, and her son, Little Johnny,
came running through the house, BB gun in one hand, and a handful of BB's in the other. He tripped and the BB's, naturally,
went right into the pot of beans.
Thinking it over, Little Johnny could think of no reason why he should risk punishment,
so he said nothing.
The dinner went well, and, as usual, the beans were one of the favorite dishes. The next day, the
church secretary, Mary, called Little Johnny's mother and said, "Jane, your beans were delicious as usual, but what did you
put in them this time?"
Jane replied, "Nothing new, why do you ask?"
"Well," said Mary, "this morning I bent over
to feed the cat and I shot the canary!"

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, the unreasonable man attempts to adapt the world to himself. Therefore

People over 30 should be dead.

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were

maybe the early 70's probably

lead-based paint.
>
> We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, ...

and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention the risks

>
>
As children, we would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags.
> Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a
warm day was always a special

>
> We drank water from the garden hose and not
from a bottle. Horrors!
>
> We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it,
>
but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.
>
> We shared one soft drink
with four friends, from one bottle, and no one

> We would
spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode

brakes. After running into

>
>
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were

No one was able to reach us all day. NO CELL PHONES!!!!!
> Unthinkable!
>
> We did not
have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-! Boxes, no video games at

surround sound,

We went outside and found them.

We

accidents.

We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and

or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who

Some students weren't as smart as others, so they failed a grade and

Horrors! Tests were not

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of.

that!

> This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem

and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion

We had freedom, failure, success! And responsibility, and we learned

And you're one of them! Congratulations!
