REDNECK WISDOM VS THE GREEN THING
AUGUST 24, 2011
Gonzo Town
In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment…
The woman apologized to him and explained, “We didn’t have the green thing back in my day.” The clerk responded, ” That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment.”
He was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day…
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
But we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.
We walked up stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right. We didn’t have the green thing in our day. (gonzotown)
