Is this true?

Yet another bad decision in his life. The WORST place to try to hide from the cops!

Guess we didn't have that in flyover country. Kids played outside until the street lights or porch lights came on, then hurried home lest they have to go cut their own switch for a whippin.

The folks got our first color tv, a big Zenith console job made out of real wood with a parquet wood top and space command remote, when I was 14. I ran all the way home from junior high school to see it, only to be told to do my homework before it would be turned on. Color tv and 12 channels of cable was "tall cotton" for us!

Can't see it.

Our latest broadcast had the Pledge of Allegiance or National Anthem with an American Flag, or America the Beautiful with the Statue of Liberty immediately before the test pattern.

Dammit man!

Only the "old timers" will get it.

3+PBS, IF the weather was good. On a big black & white Zenith tv with rabbit ears. I was the "remote" and the rabbit ears adjuster on command.

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

The good ol days. Order one of everything, and get change back from a $10.

Uh, no thanks . . .

A man walked Into a bar with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The server asked for their orders. The man said, “A hamburger, fries and a beer,” and turned to the ostrich, “What’s yours?” “I’ll have the same,” said the ostrich. A short time later the server returned with their order. “That will be $50.75 please,” and the man reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich came again and the man said, “A hamburger, fries, and a beer.” The ostrich says, “I’ll have the same.” Again the man reached into his pocket and paid with exact change. The following day they both walked in again. “The usual?” asked the server. “No, it is Friday, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and a shot of Tequila,” said the man. “Same,” said the ostrich. Shortly the server brought the order and said, “That will be $112.50.” Once again the man pulled the exact change out of his pocket and placed it on the table. The server can’t hold back her curiosity any longer. “Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?” “Well,” said the man, “Several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie popped out and offered me two wishes. My first wish was, that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.” Awesome, said the server. “Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you’ll always be as rich as you want, for as long as you live!” “That’s right. Whether it’s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact amount of money is always there,” said the man. The server asked, “But, sir, what’s with the ostrich?” The man sighed, paused, and answered, “My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agreed with everything I said.”
