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?'
The applause was amazing.......
