Remember 1957?

Yeah... I know most of you don't. Anyway, some sayings from 1957.

• I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00.
  
• Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one.
  
• If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.
  
• Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?
  
• If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.
  
• When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage,
  
• Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls,
  
• I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying d**n in "Gone With The Wind", it seems every new movie has either h**l or d**n in it.
  
• I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.
  
• Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday that they will be making more than the President.
  
• I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now
  
• It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.
  
• It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.
  
• I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.
  
• Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes.. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress.
  
• The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
  
• There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.
  
• No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood.
