Here is a funny

I think this is funny, and maybe most of you will not "get" it but I hope so! At work, I sit by this young girl. she is all of 20 almost 21. During the first part of the summer when we were concerned about flooding and such she made a comment someting like, What do they think will happen, water running down the streets or something! I looked at her dumbfounded and said don't you remember the floods of "83? Then it was her turn to look at me dumbfounded and she said I was not even born until 8?. I started to laugh and said well then I guess you do not remember that.

Today I was help a customer. When I pulled up the account the persons name was Lavern. His wife was on the phone so I asked her what her name was, she said Shirley. I smiled and when I got off the phone I chuckled a little. The same girl sitting next to me said what is so funny? I told her that I just talked to a lady whose name is Shirley and her husbands name is Lavern. She looked at me dumbfounded again like so... Then I remembered that I am an old fart and she is just a young kid, I started to laugh as I said to her Lavern and Shirley means nothing to you does it. She said "NO" I forget that I am so much older than all these people I work with.

  1. I have chuckled for a few days over your Lavern and Shirley. I must be getting old too, but thanks for sharing!
