A self-important college freshman walking along the beach took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen resting on the steps why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one" the student said loud enough for others to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon. We have nuclear energy, ships, cell phones, computers with light speed and much more."
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows:
"You're right son. We didn't have those things when we were young...so our generation invented them.
Now, you arrogant little ----, what are you doing for the next generation?
The applause was amazing.
