Share with us a personal "I'm so old" story.

I'm so old I remember when carnivals still featured freak shows.

EDIT: I remember my parents got a "baby bonus" from the gov't of $8 per month for me in the 1950s !!

I remember rotary telephones

On old time TV shows I always envied the homeowners who had the telephones with the super long extension cords where you could walk from one room clear across the living room then into another room.

@craig7 Indeed. I noticed too that the real reason for those ridiculously long leads in films, was so the leading lady could pick the thing up and throw herself langourously and sexily across her bed while still chatting away!
