Think of it this way.....
The cost hasn't gone up.
Only the value of money has gone down.

Hahaha, me neither I just googled 'mullet' and that was the funniest one I could find.
I was a hockey player so I had the hockey mullet like Gretzky in his prime.
The good ol' days.
The telephone party line.
We lived in the country when I was a kid and had a 6 household party line.
That means 6 households used but one telephone line.
Sadly the women would chat (read gossip) for hours and hours on end.
My snoopy mother (and the rest of the women) would eavesdrop on conversations
all the friggin' time!
Dad rarely used the phone but when he wanted or needed to it was always tied up.
One fine day he needed the phone and waited HOURS to get a clear line
to no avail.
He finally said "get off the effing phone or I'll come over and beat your @sses!"
Promptly followed by "click".
When private lines became available we were the first to get one.
I remember when t-v was black and white and only 3 channels, two Cleveland
and one Pittsburgh.
If the weather was good.
Now Dee gets 150 channels and STILL nothing on worth watching.

A TV with 3 (that's 1, 2, 3 three) channels, and you had to walk over to it to change between them. It was black & white, with a 10 inch screen on a box about 1 1/2 foot across.

But being near Detroit, we had a 4th TV channel......9 out of Canuckistan.
When all the other were broadcasting churchie stuff all morning, we
heathens could watch curling out of Windsor.
