    You wouldn't be able to buy the baseball cards nowdays. All the old farts
    would go to buy them by the box to take out the good cards and sell to the
    kids for over inflated prices.

    Clothes? You had CLOTHES? Luxury!

    In MY day we had to clip together playing cards with bits of wire
    salvaged from our broken washing machine so that we'd have something to
    wear...

    Playing cards and clips, you had playing cards and clips!?

    In my day we had to paint clothes on.

    (I listen to a lot of old time radio and during WWII they actually had paint
    that women could use so it looked like they were wearing nylons.)
