just to mail a letter?

>If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, Nobody will be able to hire outside

> When I first started driving, who would have thought that gas
would someday cost 25 cents a gallon?
Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

>Did you see where some baseball player just signed
a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball?

more than the President.

>I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances
would be electric. They're even making electric typewriters
now.

> It's too bad 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.

>I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door
to a whole lot of foreign business.

> Thank goodness I won't live to see the day
when the Government takes half our income in
taxes. I sometimes wonder

>The fast food restaurant is convenient for a quick meal,
but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.

> There is no sense going on short trips any more
for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a
