A great majority of your conversations begin with "I remember when..."

 

[Bawkbok]

I remember when - we had to walk to school a mile each way through a foot of snow and freezing temps, all bundled up and wearing the pull on over your shoes galoshes, carrying our lunch pails and books and we never complained about any of it. No such thing as school buses back then, not where I grew up. Everyone walked.

I actually quit watching them. They got unfunny after I realized how the "nobody got hurt" was a lie.

I leaned my lesson long before there were digital video cameras and smart phone cameras. Still not going back and try again to see if anyone is watching.
