You know your old when...
You are older than the parents of the new hires...
You quote Dean Wormer: From this point, they are on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION. And the audience is just staring at you. Never heard of Animal House... Who is John Belushi? Statement: This is a type of Catch-22. Response: Huh??? Statement: Number 9, Number 9, ..... Response: We don't have a number 9. Yep, feeling rather silly now. Inputs welcome!

...you call the refrigerator an "ice box."
...you still say, "Dial the phone number." ...you know what a pull tab on a can is. ...you call the t.v. remote the "clicker." ...your cell phone is only a cell phone.

Who is Frank Zappa?
They buy weed by the gram and are shocked that you used to get 10-12 doobies out of a nickel bag.

Ahhh Frank! He even wrote some nice classical music!
Remote in my house was: Go to the TV and change the station. OK Dad, which one, 2, 8, 11, or 13? I grew up in Houston, those were the only stations I remember at that time. 39 (Paul Bosch Wrestling?), 26, 20, and then more came years later. We never got cable when it came out and I really didn't care by that age.

When you remember when TV was free.
You wonder how you made it through high school without the Internet or a cell phone. When you are out having a few beers with co-workers after work and a hottie walks by you comment "I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers" and they all look at you like you are from Mars.

I was having lunch with a new young client yesterday and I mentioned that I was going to see Rush in a couple weeks-- she had just recently heard of them because her roommate is dating "another old guy that likes Rush too." I just turned 40.

Driving on the new interstate at night with the pedal to the metal, seeing no one except that set of lights behind you. If those lights caught you, well they caught you fair and square. You then followed the nice gentleman in his black and white to the nearest Justice of the Peace and promptly paid the Justice your $5.00 speeding ticket in cash,thanked the man and while the two kept chatting you got into your car went back to the interstate and proceeded to bring it back up, pedal to the metal.
Do remember gas at 17 cents/gal. Being less than 100 miles away from Woodstock and being asked if I was going to the big concert. Hell no, was too into driving my MGB down the east coast to Miami, jumped on a plain to Jamaica and spent Woodstock time on the beach. When boarding a plane was just boarding a plane, no security, just show up before it left. When we got our first TV set in 1954 and I went to the back of the set to see if my family could see me on the TV. When the Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan show with those mop head haircuts. When you had to know MS DOS to run a puter.

When somebody posts about "going to see" Rush and you figure out it's a band, not Rush Limbaugh.
When M.D.'s say "at your age..." When you can remember where you were the days both Kennedys were killed.
