    Back in my day, $10.00 bought me and my girlfriend dinner (At the local smorgasbord), gas for cruising 'til about 10:30 PM and a root beer at XXX Drive In on the way home.
    Even further back in my day, $1.00 got you two bus tokens (10 cents each way), into the monster matinee (25 cents), a candy bar (10 cents) and a soda (15 cents) and I had to give my mother back the left over change!

    This sounds awesome!

    Back in my day we didn't have body wash. We used the same bar of soap dad used to wash his *******. Sometimes it was the size of a nickel.
