Why You Need to Respect Your Elders

[jholland1964]

A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing ....and," pausing to take another drink of beer.

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young........so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little ****, what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding...

thats because you know part of the people you keep calling "old fart" is a mechanical engineer working in control systems. that means I can hit your house from half way around the world and I can probably pick out where you are in the process.

No...not really, I'm not worried about you. In order for you to do that, you'd have to be awake AND sober

j/k

Engineers used to have a wonderful tradition.
The three martini lunch.
I have been told that some of the greatest golf course sales and best inventions have happened after a three martini lunch.
