If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!

I'm in the dirt category, as I remember every single one of these things! My uncle Daniel G. was a lifelong chemist. He invented the Blue Dot flash cube when he was working for Sylvania and Kodak. He was with them for more than 50 years and never even got a bonus for that invention. He was born in Italy, educated at Union College in Schenectady, NY and lived and died in Parsippany, NJ.

Don't tell me I'm older than dirt just because I have a good memory.
It's not nice. Many of us are obviously older than you, wiser too.
Remember Pearl Harbor? I do. Remember V-E Day? I do. Being
older than dirt - that's before dinosaurs, and reeeeaaaaaly old; even
Methusela wasn't THAT old! LOL
