Youngster mocks 71 year old manโฆto take one last look around campus again before he settled in to retired life.
As he got to the campus he saw a young man studying hard, and the sight brought back memories.
He sat on the bench beside the lad, but was surprised when the kid started spouting off at him.
โYou old geezer.
Your generation will never understand my generation,โ the kid lectured.
โYou grew up in a different world.
In fact, your world is almost primitive compared to mine,โ the student said.
โIs that right?โ the elder man said.โThe young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, microwaves.
I can carry hundreds of books on a tiny chip in my cell phone.
We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, Computers with light-speed processing, and,โ he paused to take swig of beer.
The senior took advantage of the break in the studentโs litany and said, โYouโre right, son.
We didnโt have those things when we were young โ so we invented them.
Now, you arrogant little bastard,What are you doing for the next generation?โThe student fell completely silent and all the people around them cheered.
