The Daily Bi**ch*: "I so enjoy the look on the young folk's faces when I tell

[niyad]

them that I was born in the 1900's."

*Both a noun, and a verb, depending on usage.

1. I go with the ...."first half of the last century."

[niyad]

2. Well, I am at the half-way mark.

3. "Last millenium" works too ;)

[niyad]

5. Oh, I do like that!

[Phentex]

6. i could steal that!

[TommyT139]

7. I'm sharing, so it isn't stealing. :)

[LoisB]

4. LOL. So do I.

[Probatim]

8. I like to tell people on Teams calls that I've been at the same company since the 1900s.

People my age laugh a lot - people my kids' ages look at me like I'm 147 years old.

It's a great ice breaker when you've got a mix of people or just older farts like me.

9. I go with "I was born when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn."

Guaranteed to get blank looks.

10. I Iike to mention historical events that I remember.

Turns the heads of younger people and gets a gasp from some of them.

2012 example: Conversation at a debate party (Obama/Romney) turned to weather trivia about inaugurations. Someone had read that it snowed hard during Kennedy's inaugural speech. I said that I didn't remember snow during the speech, just a heavy snowfall the night before and bitter cold for the inauguration. Several heads turned and one person said, "You remember?"

ME: Well, I wasn't there.
I only watched on TV.

OTHER PERSON: Oh, you found film of the TV broadcast.

ME: No, I watched it live, real time.

SEVERAL PEOPLE: OMG!

11. I like telling them my grandpa was born in 1887.
