Older than Dirt

Yesterday, this conversation came up, so I had to go find some fun ways to determine if we are really "Older than Dirt" Here are a few from Vikar Rant. If you can think of more, post them here or send them over!!

Older Than Dirt
Some people who receive this message won't understand a word of it. Others will be able to explain and laugh at every little detail.

The only difference between NOT understanding and understanding EVERYTHING is your age. You decide "how old you really are".

Enjoy or be forever lost!!!!

My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea.


She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something.

I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam irons.

Man, I am old.
