'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.'�
'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let�Clark Gable�get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.'�
'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .'�
