A very 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 are much more advanced than people
your age. We grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man
walking on the moon and the internet. We have cell phones, nuclear
energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers, automated manu!
facturing , amazing technologies, ....and,' pausing to take another
drink of beer.
The senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said,
'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were
young.....so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are
YOU doing for the next generation?'
The applause was resounding.
