People were overheard saying....
"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a weeks worth of groceries for $20."
"Have you seen the price of new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $3000 will only buy a USED car."
"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging as much as 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 stores."
"When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 35 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
"Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."
"What kids call MUSIC these days doesn't even sound like music. This `Rock Around The Clock` thing is nothing but a bunch of racket."
"I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the 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 they'll be making more than the president."
"Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the country?"
"I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
"It's a shame 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."
"Did you know the new church in town is allowing women to wear slacks to their service?"
"Next thing you know is, the government will start paying us not to grow crops."
"I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."
"Why in the world would you want to send your daughter to college? Isn't she going to get married? It would be different if she could be a doctor or a lawyer."
The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
"There is no sense traveling anywhere anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $10 a night to stay in a hotel."
"Anymore no one can afford to be sick, $35 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."
"If a few idiots want to risk their necks flying across the country that's fine, but nothing will ever replace trains."
"I don't know about you but if they raise the price of a cup of coffee to 15 cents, I'll just have to drink mine at home."
"If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it. I'll have my wife learn to cut hair."
"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
"We won't be going out much anymore. Our baby sitter informed us she wants 35 cents an hour. Kids these days think money grows on trees."
"Cars with power steering, automatic transmissions, and who knows what else? Pretty soon they will drive themselves."
