i remember the large floppy disk

Do you remember the 8 inch floppy?

I remember the Alamo.

I remember when a letter cost 3 cents to mail.
I remember gasoline a 25.9 cents per gallon
I remember 10 inch 78rpm shellac or vinyl discs.
I remember when the pledge of allegiance didn't have the words "under god."
I remember when candy bars cost a nickel.

So who invented dirt? It seems you must have been there.

No that happened a few years, uh, few decades, no, few centuries, nah, few millennia, no maybe a few hundred thousand years?

You must have been in Maryland, gas was 19.9 cents a gallon in the Southwest in the 60's even with the free glass. Ask the hemis and vettes that got 5 mpg.

A CEO from a dairy company comes to visit the Pope. He asks the pope:" What would it cost, for you to change the words from "Give us this day our daily bread." To "Give us this day our daily Milk".
The pope thought for a while and then said no i cant do it. The CEO walked out and the pope called a Cardinal, when does our contract whit the baker run out??

I remember (in 1977) buying gas for 50.9 cents a half gallon. The pumps only had two digits, so they couldn't charge 100.9 cents a gallon (foreshadowing Y2K).
