Remember When......

[RIJIMMY]

you had to go to the library to look things up......no internet

[Flaptail]

Old Milwaukee was .39cents a quart
Pot was only $40.00 a ounce
20 Crossroads only cost $3.00 bucks
Girls had real breasts
The Tuna salad plate at the Miss Worcster diner was 2.50 and came with real french fries and real tapioca pudding with reall whipped cream and an ice cold coke.
If you "slept" with a girl with a notorious reputation you could get it "cleared" up with a shot or a comb.
Rent on your first apartment was $75.00 dollars a month with utilities.
You could go to the corner Mom & Pop store and for a quarter get a 16 oz. coke and a package of twinkies and get a penny back.
When you got pulled over and the Statie hauled you all out of the car and determined who was capable of driving and if no one was he took the keys and brought back at the end of his shift while you were still passed out cold.
A beach sticker for Race and Nauset was 40 bucks and there were actually fish there and no one gave a rats ass about Piping Plovers or seals.
When everyone was used to seeing people dressed in waders in stores and restaurants on the lower Cape during the fishing season.
Man those were the days .........sigh.

Baby carriages had those big wheel, and canopy's
Four quarts of milk for a buck
Beer cans needed an opener
Sneakers didn't have to cost an arm and a leg
Captain Kangaroo, was a BLAST!
Maverick jeans were cool
and no prewashed, stone wash
There were butcher shops
soda fountains, in the corner drug store
bakeries in the neightborhood, (NYC)
The subway was .15
The Mac buses, with no a/c
42nd street was the pits
and when I started smokin' back in '74
a pack of butts was .49 .

you could take a dump without having to have a metamucil cocktail once a day.
