Just got sent this & found it so real.Love the sig at the end too.
Subject: Over 40 how true
Gotta Be Over 40 to Understand
Mum used to cut chicken, slice eggs and spread mayo on the same
cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't get food poisoning.
My Mum used to defrost mince-meat on the kitchen sink AND I used to eat a bite raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper, in a brown paper bag, not in icepack coolers, but I can't remember anybody getting e.coli.
Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead
of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.
The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.
We all played sport, and also did PE... and risked permanent injury with a pair of Dunlop runners (only worn in the gym or the sports ground) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built-in light reflectors.. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened, because they tell us how much safer we are now....
We never checked the oval before footy or cricket for broken glass or holes...we must have just been lucky not to cut ourselves or trip
over.
