What is a Senior Citizen??

A Senior Citizen is one who was here before:-

the pill, television, frozen foods, contact lenses, credit cards ...... and before Man walked on the moon.

 

For us, "Time Sharing" meant togetherness, not holiday homes, and a "chip" meant a piece of wood.  "Hardware" meant nuts and bolts, and "software" wasn't even a word.

 

We got married first, then lived together, and thought cleavage was something that butchers did.  A "Stud" was something that fastened a collar to a shirt, and "going all th way" meant staying on the bus to the bus depot.

 

We thought that "fast-food" was what you ate in lent; a "Big Mac" was an oversized raincoat and "crumpet" we had for tea.

 

In our days: "grass" was mown, "pot" was something you cooked in, "coke" was kept in the coal house and a "joint" was cooked on Sundays!

 

We are todays SENIOR CITIZENS.  A hardy bunch when you think how the world has changed!!!!!!!!
