You Know You Are Old When

[BravoXray]

I never acquired a taste for beer. I always gagged when trying to drink it until a couple of trips dirt biking in Baja where I was warned not to drink the water. I might have a couple of Corona a year since then. I don't gag on other brands anymore but still don't like it.

I can't stand it either. Roommates at college tried to get me to drink beer, but it tasted horrible.
Now some OJ and 100 proof Darkeyes....
Pretty much stopped drinking 35 years ago after dating an alcoholic for a year. Last I heard, she's still an alcoholic.

We used to drink OJ and vodka in the parking lot before high school every morning.

Yikes!

We used to cross the border to buy no name beer.
It came in a waxed paper case and just a plain red and white label that said BEER.
It was like $6 for 24.
We'd cross the border and get a trunk full on a Friday. Even if we got stopped for duty it was still less than half what we paid here in Canada (now known as Kanuckistan)

I rarely go down town mostly because there isn't much to go for.
But the meters are part of it.

ROTFLMAO!

For the first time in a LONG time I stopped at Mickie D's.

Fish fillet sandwich, standard drink and I upsized the fries to a large.

I had to pay them $11 to get change back.

I know some restaurants for $4 more I can get a much better meal (but I guess I don't have to tip at Mickie D's LOL).

As am I. Used one of those in my youth ... at work. Where I pumped gas, washed windows, and checked the oil, while filling your gas tank for $0.29 a gallon... while I wasn't changing brakes, radiators, water pumps, U joints, bearings, tires, mufflers, and stuff. Ohhh the good ole days.

When I just now looked up from my recliner in my garage.
Ahhhh the mini skirt days! I can hear my boss even now: "FUDDY!!! Stop washing that windshield!!!!! Get in here and change these tires!".
Imagine $3.00 for gas and I checked the oil, trans fluid (if automatic), brake fluid, coolant, tire pressure, washed windows.

We used to buy beer here (Virginia) that was really cheap rot gut in a gallon glass jug. I really think the name was "Milwaukee" (not Old Milwaukee). I remember one time a car load of teenage friends, all smashed, pulled over to pee. I finished my gallon, peed in the jug & set it on the trunk lid. The driver staggered by, picked it up and drank it down!

That was really bad beer if he couldn't tell the difference... even drunk.
The NO NAME wasn't that bad really and that's from somebody used to real beer brewed in Canada.
