To all the kids who survived the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants and children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar,but we weren't overweight because, WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach us all day.And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms ... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS!

Monty Python - Bomb on a plane
First Pilot This is Captain MacPherson welcoming you aboard East Scottish Airways. You'll
have had your tea. Our destination is Glasgow. There is no need to panic.
Badger There's a bomb on board this plane, and I'll tell you where it is for a thousand
pounds.
Second Pilot I don't believe you.
Badger If you don't tell me where the bomb is... if I don't give you the money... Unless you
give me the bomb...
Stewardess The money.
Badger The money, thank you, pretty lady... the bomb will explode killing everybody.
Second Pilot Including you.
Badger I'll tell you where it is for a pound.
Second Pilot Here's a pound.
Badger I don't want Scottish money. They've got the numbers. It can be traced.
Second Pilot One English pound. Now where's the bomb?
Badger I can't remember.
Second Pilot You've forgotten.
Badger Aye, you'd better have your pound back. Oh... fingerprints.
First Pilot Now where's the bomb?
Badger Ah, wait a tic, wait a tic. Er, my first is in Glasgow but
not in Spain, my second is in steamer but not in train, my whole is in the luggage
compartment on the plane... I'll tell you where the bomb is for a pound.
Second Pilot It's in the luggage compartment.
Badger Right. Here's your pound..
Headphones Is this character giving you any trouble?
First Pilot He's just ruined this sketch.
Second Pilot Yes, absolutely.
Headphones Let's go on to the next one.
Badger Wait a tic, wait a tic. No. I won't ruin your sketch for a pound.
Second Pilot No, no.

Come fly with me - Penny's Royal Visit
Great British Air stewardess Penny Carter is thrilled that Princess Anne is planning to fly with Great British Air. A member of the Royal Household has been sent to inspect the cabin...
Great British Air stewardess Penny is thrilled that Princess Ann is planning to fly with the airline next week.
I’m not surprised that the Princess has chosen to fly with us. It’s well known that we do provide the finest first class service. For example all of our stewardesses are now trained in massage therapy so, on long route flights we can offer shiatsu, sweedish, deep tissue, all of which end up with a happy ending.
A member of the royal household has been sent to inspect the cabin.
So the flight is next Tuesday ?
Yes it is next Tuesday but I’d rather you did not broadcast it. And that should give you sufficient time to completely repaint and recarpet the cabin.
Yes, yes of course. May I say how honored I am that the Princess is flying with us. I’ve personaly admired her for many many years.
One thing the Princess Royal despises is sycophancy (=adulación). We need to discuss Princess Ann Princess Royal’s dietary requirements. Do you provide a fruit salad ?
Yes we do.
Wonderful. Princess Ann Princess Royal adores fruit salad but she can be a trifle choosy about what sort of fruit she has in it. What does your salad contain ?
Grapes ?
The Princess Royal does not eat grapes.
Strawberries ? Kiwi ? Orange ? Goava ? Lychee ? Pomegranate ? Passion fruit ? Grapefruit ? Pear ? Gooseberries ? Blackberries ? Melon ? Mango ? Peach ? Pineapple ? Apple ? Plum ? So just apples ?
Yes.
So I should just give the Princess an apple ?
Yes. Do you provide yoghurt ?
Yes we have the finest organic yoghurts flown in daily from Guernsey.
The Princess detests yoghurt.
