The Student
A very self-important college student 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 pensioner 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 actually
invented them. Now, you arrogant little ***, what are
you doing for your next generation?"
