Whimiscal Wednesday: What Makes You Feel Old?

Whimsical WednesdayA high school teacher took his class on a field trip to the library.  As he was waxing eloquent about all the great things about libraries, books and reading, one of his students asked a question.

Pointing to a long shelf of thick books all of a similar design, the student asked the teacher what that could possibly be.  The teacher replied, “That’s the Encyclopedia Brittanica.”

The student turned to his instructor with a look of disgusted amazement on his face, and said, “You mean somebody actually printed it all out?!?!?”

For me, that’s right up there with the question, “Was Paul McCartney in a group before Wings?”
