WHAT DID WE DO BEFORE...???

I was at the Holy Mass yesterday, thinking of a bunch of non-spiritual stuff. This was caused by the priest saying something in his sermon that I hadn't reflected on before, even though I had heard the Scripture for more than 65 years.

DO YOUR CHILDREN KNOW THIS GAME?

"Why didn't more boys kill people instead of playing 'Mumbly Peg Baseball with sharp knives all Summer long?"
"Do they still make 'Lil' Red Ryder' B-B guns?"
So, I ask, "Do they still make pen nibs that you have to dip into the bottle?"
Oh, by the way, "Do ball point pens still write underwater?"
I also ask, "Do they still make bicycles with horns and headlights?"
On, yeah, "Why don't they put the shifting lever on the steering post any more?"
"Have we forgotten that tires used to have inner tubes?"
"Why did we have to put only 32 lbs per square inch of air in "fat tired" bicycle wheels and 75 lbs in skinny tired, racing bike wheels?"
"When about 90% of autos have automatic transmissions, why is it still less expensive to buy an auto with a manual, five-speed transmission?"
"When dogs don't mind eating their own vomit, why do people spend big money buying expensive dog food with exotic ingredients?"
"When people profess that all they need to know about God is in the Bible, why do they go to church to listen to someone preach at them from the Bible?"
"Why does the choir leader announce the number of the following hymn when it is clearly displayed on the Hymnal Guide protruding from the wall for all to see?"
"Why do we run for our cell phone when we are looking for our misplaced wallet?"
"Why do we send emails to one another when we are working in the same 15' X 15' area?"
"Why do we complain when we are told to reread e-mails and other documents to check for mistakes?  Is it because we are afraid that we'll run out of carbon paper?"
"Why do we comb our hair after showering just 15 minutes before retiring for the night?"
"Why do we wash bananas, oranges and lemons before eating them?"
"With food so expensive and jobs so scarce, why do we grow grass instead of vegetables?

You've all received lists similar to this one in your email.  I sat here and did these all by myself.  I'm telling you, many of this came to me in church and much of it also came to me as we were driving the 90 miles back from San Diego to our home in Moreno Valley.  I hope you enjoy it.  The one about combing your hair after a late night shower has a story to it.  It's actually a GP rated story, but it is too inane for bright people like you.  So, for tonight, "Thh,tthhaaa,  tha, tha, thasss, aaa-aa-aall Folks."
