Subject: How old is Grandpa? This is really good. I think you will be surprised at the answer at the end. Just for fun, read it all.
One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events.
The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.
The Grandfather replied, 'Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:
' television Commercially available in the 1930s
' penicillin 2.3 Million Doses were made ready for the invasion of Normandy in 1944
' polio shots
' frozen foods The first quick-frozen vegetables, fruits, seafoods, and meat were sold to the public for the first time in 1930 in Springfield, Massachusetts, under the tradename Birds Eye Frosted Foods
' XeroxXerographic office photocopying was introduced by Xerox in 1949,[1] and it gradually replaced copies made by Verifax, Photostat, carbon paper, mimeograph machines, and other duplicating machines.
' contact lenses
' Frisbees and
' the pill
This person would be only 59 years old.
