I’m so old I remember when people would read the newspaper.

Like, read every sentence in every story of each day’s newspaper, trusting the editor not to print anything that would be too much of a waste of time.

    I’m so old, I was long an adult before people started not reading the newspaper. I subscribed to the newspaper, and it was delivered to my house by a kid on a bicycle. I found my wife through a personal ad in a newspaper, a wife I’ve been divorced from for 16 years, now. I got all but my most recent job through want ads in the newspaper.

    Y’all aren’t old for just remembering when other people read the newspaper. Y’all aren’t old at all.
