They got that right
Raising a child is expensive. From the day your baby is born until the day they turn 18, your family will spend about $310,605 — or about $17,000 a year, according to a new Brookings Institution analysis of data from the U.S. Agriculture Department.
So when are the pubs gonna give the moms they make have kids $17,000/year?

I started flying regularly in the early 1970s at my employer's expense.

Deregulation hadn't happened yet. Seats were wide. Planes were rarely full. There were meals on most flights. Flight attendants were young women who looked like they had stepped out of a fashion magazine. Security was minimal.

Fares were very expensive. Most passengers were white males wearing suits. Including me.

How things have changed.

So, you remember when seat backs could recline more than 1 inch? And ashtrays in the arm rests? And mid flight snacks were more than a pack of 5 mini pretzels? The good old days. :biggrin:

Though I must say that I do not miss the smokers any longer on airplanes. I still have bad memories of a longer flight, booked as non-smoking in business class (European style). No separation, the non-smokers were just the rows past the smokers, and I happened to be in the first row behind them. To my bad luck the ventilation on this plane pulled used air from the smoker over the non-smoker section :brickwallsmall:

PS. on the same flight, as usually I was restless and could not sleep well (nightflight), the steward asked me if I would like to sit in the cockpit! Of course I enjoyed a time in the blacked out cockpit on the jumpseat. I remember the very strange feeling of flying over war torn Sudan and Aethiopia in those days. Didn't matter to the airlines, partner states regulated the air traffic and someone in those countries picked up the fees.

Yes. No one was happier than I when smoking was forbidden on planes.

Yeah, it's not a joke but it made me laugh... and an informative read about swearing origins and some benefits of using them... by golly.

If it were the 14th century, your name was Robert Clevecunt and you lived on Pissing Alley, you wouldn’t have hesitated to tell anyone your name or address. Such words were common enough to be unremarkable. It is easily offended 21st-century humans who would change our name by deed poll and lobby the council to change its road signs.

Me too. I remember flying a Northwest Airlines 747 from Cleveland to Chicago one Sunday evening, and the cabin crew literally outnumbered the passengers.

I remember wondering "how do they get this movie theater off the ground?"

I had a flight in 1965 Miami to Cincy via a 707 where it was me and another guy and the crew.

Old joke, probly inappropriately rememberated:
A blonde enters her doctor's office:
"Hello, how can I help?"
"Doctor, I have pains everywhere on my body."
"Can you show me where please?"
She touches her cheek "ow! here!", touches her nose "oof! here!", touches her left leg and yelps "here too!" and also her right leg "agh! and this one is as bad."
The doctor thinks for a moment then says "right, I need to treat you for a sore finger."
