Clean Joke: Grandpa and the Good Ole Days

November 26, 2008 07:39 AM EST

views: 129 | comments: 37

Grandpa was always going on about the good old days, and the lower cost of living, in particular. "When I was a kid, my mom could send me to the store, and I'd get a salami, two pints of milk, 6 oranges, 2 loaves o' bread, a magazine, and some new blue jeans... all for a dollar!!"

Then Grandpa said sadly, "You can't DO that anymore..... they got those video cameras everywhere you look."

(This was from the "You Make Me Laugh" daily e-mail newsletter from Crosswalk.com.)
