Noisy Hype

A very self-important college freshman at a recent football
game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen
sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older
generation to understand his own.

"You grew up in a different, actually almost primitive, world,"
the student said condescendingly and loud enough for the
whole crowd to hear. "We young people today grew up with
television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon,
our spaceships have visited Mars...
We even have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars,
computers with light-speed processing...and uh.."

Taking advantage of a pause for breath in the student's litany,
the "wizened" one said, "You're right, Son. We didn't have
those things when we were young........so we invented them
.....you arrogant little bozo!!
Now......what are you doing for the generations following yours, aside
from lame and noisy hype?"
