Apparently, a self-important college freshman
attending a recent football game took it upon
himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting
next to him why it was impossible for the older
generation to understand his generation.
'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost
primitive one' the student said, loud enough for many
of those nearby to hear. 'The Young people of today
grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man
walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited
Mars.. We have nuclear energy, ships and electric and
hydrogen cars, cell phones. Computers with light-speed
processing... And more.'
After a brief silence the senior citizen responded as follows:
'You're right, son.
We didn't have those things when we were young ... so we invented them.
Now, you arrogant little ****, what are you doing for the next generation?'
