A Senior Moment

"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.

The Senior 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 invented them. Now, you arrogant little fart, what are you doing for the next generation?" The applause was resounding ...
