OT - THIS KIND OF STUFF HAS GOT TO STOP IMMEDIATELY!
We Must Stop This Immediately! Have you
noticed that stairs are getting steeper, hills are
getting higher and steeper, groceries
are heavier, and everything is farther away?
Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was
dumbfounded to discover how long our street has
become! This extension work was apparently done at
night!! Very sneaky stuff.
And, you know, people are less considerate
now, especially the youngsters. They speak in
whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up
they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly
mouthing the same silent message until they're red
in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?
Also think they are much younger than I
was at the same age. On the other hand, people my
own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an
old friend the other day, and he has aged so much
that he didn't even recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor guy while
shaving this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at
my own reflection ........Well, REALLY NOW - even
mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast these
days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to
pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can
say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the
way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view
mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilized
these days. Why else would they suddenly start
labeling a size 32 pair of pants a 42, or medium
shirt as 'extra large? Do they think no one notices
that these things no longer fit around the waist,
hips, thighs, and neck?
The people who make bathroom scales are
pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they
think I actually "believe" the number I see on that
dial? Heck! I would never let myself weigh that
much! Just who do these people think they're
fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to
report what's going on -- but the telephone company
is in on the conspiracy too. They've printed the
phone books in such small type that no one could
ever find a number in there!
All I can do is pass along this warning: We
are under attack! Unless something drastic
happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer
these awful indignities. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO
EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET
THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
PS: I am sending this to you in a larger
font size, because something has caused my
computer's regular fonts to be smaller than they
once were. (They must be sneaking into my house and
messing around with my computer. Probably
CIA or CID....!!!) Pretty scary stuff huh?
