New Vs. Old, or shall we say educated.

A very self-important 20something year old was just dying to show off the new crotch rocket he had recently acquired.
He was attending his very first biker rally ever. He was chumming around with some of his young biker friends, and took it upon himself to explain to an elderly group of bikers with their full dressers

why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation, and why their bikes were so much cooler.

'You and your Geezer Glides grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one,' the young man said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of today are much more advanced than people your age. We grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon and the Internet. We have cell phones, nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers, automated manufacturing, amazing technologies, ...and,' pausing to take another drink of beer.

The old biker took advantage of the break in the kid's litany and said, 'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young.....so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are YOU doing for the next generation?'

The applause amongst the crowd was resounding...

I love old bikers. You can learn so much!

  2. That is awesome!!! Gotta Love the ODBs!! They are smart!!!

    I have to interview young people for positions at the company I work for. With all the texting they do they find it very hard to even form a sentence when they are face to face with you. Sad!

  3. Good one, but we were cocky little bastards at one time ourselves. At least I was. (Still am);)

  4. Way to go ODB's! I wish I could have witnessed that perfect smack down. I get tired of the cockiness that seems to be the mood of the day... every day! Young people think they've got it better, but I guess they haven't been watching the news.
