My oh my...........
The Sears Lingerie catalog.
Now we are getting to the good stuff.
I had almost forgotten about that highly instructive and inspirational manual.
They sure don't make 'em like that any more: the women, the undergarments or the catalogs.
More's the pity. |

No. They don't make 'em like that any more.
Now it's women who look like 12 year old boys with bolt ons. What the hell happened with women with curves?
I still remember when it was not allowed by the censors to show women wearing only a bra on TV. They would only show women in form fitting sweaters or a bra on the mannequin with the "cross your heart" tape. The first time I saw a woman in JUST a bra I couldn't believe my eyes.
This is a hoot:

DangerDave,
You mean when traffic laws were actually enforced to a level that resulted in a large percentage of compliance and/or people had respect or were scared of being pulled over?? LOL
I remember seeing the motorcops in the winter (snow on the ground that is) riding. They used horse blankets to keep warm. |

My wife remembers when her sister got a $120 calculator that added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. It was another $40 for the one that printed on paper.
LOL, I had a calculator (don't know what it cost) that had a red LED display and could add, subtract, and multiply. NO division. Who really needs that anyway? |

I mean when they didn't have rear facing radar and all the other hitech gizzmos. |

Im 53 and dont have any grand kids yet....dough!!....but I love talkin with and teasin the younger ones. My nephew's little girl asked " Unka Percy, did you have TV in the OLDEN DAYS?"
I go like "Hell no. When I was your age I had to watch out for dinosaurs on the way to school. And we didnt have no telephones either. We just stood on the porch and hollered real loud. Got kinda confusing during peak hours..." |
