When I get an idea for a Blog Posting I put it into a computer folder entitled New In Process. It present there are 202 idea files waiting for me to get back to them.
Ideas pop up in front of me all the time. Some ideas get completely forgotten because I tend to work on the newer ones. Some are completely done and some are just targets of opportunity waiting to be finalized.
Today’s Blog Posting was the oldest in my list of 202 potential blogs. It did not take long to finalize it. I hope you enjoy what I over looked 10 years ago...
Ø The Amusement and Surprise in the eyes of a teenager of today when you demonstrated how an ole fashioned Crank Pencil Sharpener Sharpened a Pencil.
Ø The Look of Disgust on the faces of young people when we explain how We Used To Lick The Back of Dirty Backs Of Postage Stamps With Our Naked Tongues.
Ø The question that is sure to come after I explain how I used to have to reach up and pull down the back hatch on my SUV with my hand, “Why did you not just press the button?”
Ø This one I actually witnessed. My wife had a car with Crank Roll Up (& Down) Windows and how our 3 Granddaughters got a kick out of Rolling Those Windows Up (& Down) Over & Over.
Ø The complete frustration on the face of the a check-out clerk as he tried to figure out what to do after you handed him a $20 Bill to pay for the $17.28 worth of groceries and he explained that his Cash Register Computer was down and he Did Not Know How Much Change He Should Give To Me.
Ø The Shock and Surprise on the check-out face after I told him, “The change is $2 Dollars and 72 Cents” as he said to me, “You figured that out in your head!?”
Ø The look of wonderment on the face of a young person as you started to explain why we say, “Dial A Telephone”.
Ø Another one I actually witnessed. My Grandchildren trying to figure out what one would ever do with a DVD Disk.
Ø The look of Whatever-Are-You-Talking-About when one of today’s young people was told how Superman Used to Change Out of His Street Clothes in a Phone Booth. They might not say anything but you can just hear them thinking, “Those phone booths must have been all over the place if you were required to go into one of them to make a phone call”.
Ø This one has not happened yet but it won’t be long. Someone will say, “Yea, I heard about that a long time ago when I read about it in the Newspaper”. To which the response will came back, “What’s a Newspaper?”
I usually limit my bullet point examples of darn near anything to 3 in
my Blog Postings. You may be thinking it was hard to come up with these 10 examples.
It was a piece of cake. (In case you forgot Piece Of Cake means Something
That Is Easy To Do.)
Would I kid u?
