Reduce Your Stress With A Good Laugh

Laughter is a great stress reliever and if you are old enough to remember, you will probably enjoy this humorous piece from the 1950s.

• “I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for $20.”

• “Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won’t be long before $5000 will only buy a used one.”

• “If cigarettes keep going up in price, I’m going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.”

• “Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?”

• “When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon.”

• “Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail haircuts are horrible. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as girls.”

• “I’m afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying ‘damn’ in Gone with the Wind, it seems every new movie has either ‘hell’ or ‘damn’ in it.”

• “I read the other day where some scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the year 2000.”

• “It won’t be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.”

• “Marriage doesn’t mean a thing anymore; those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat.”

• “I’m just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.”

• “No one can afford to be sick anymore; $35 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood.”

• “If they think I’ll pay 50 cents for a haircut, forget it.”


This goes to show the uncertainty of the future. Enjoy life now. Don’t wait for tomorrow.
