Recently at the office everyone was talking about "facts" so I said "Just the facts, ma'am"Slowpoke wrote:And it gets worse as you get more aged. After so many blank stares at one of your witty references to someting old, you just tell them, GOOGLE IT!Lunch wrote:Holy crap: I learned today that a late 20's or early 30's college grad I work with has never even heard of the book "1984". He tried to explain that the reason he probably hadn't heard of it was because 1984 was before he was in school...
Yikes.
Blank stares
So I said, you know, like Joe Friday
More blank stares
Then I said, you know, like Joe Friday in Dragnet.
Absolute blank stares, with a little apprehension creeping in.......
Fahchrissakes, haven't any of you ever heard of Jack Webb, Dragnet, etc. etc????
Uh, no.
Slunk back to my office.
