It kinda seems like the world was a better place when people didn't bitch left right and center about every little thing like now a days...

The Cola one is fake:
Start Cola Earlier, says the Soda Pop Board of America (http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/start_cola_earlier_says_the_soda_pop_board_of_amer ica)

I laughed, but I'm a sexist pig :fullofwin:

[dealt]

Today...

Guys = bitches

bitches = bitches

Take me back

I thought most of those were pretty humorous. It's like watching an old James Bond movie with Sean Connery, some of the stuff he did to the women in those movies would have people up in arms. Not that it is right but interesting what was acceptable back then.

I was aroused by half of them.

They are but no one was offended back then??

shows what happens when we give women equal rights :troll:

I think Michael Jackson used Chlorinol

Who doesn't spank their wife when they bring home the wrong coffee?

I still remember seeing a tube of Darkie toothpaste when family came to visit from Hong Kong in the early 80's.
