Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for June 14, 2022

Then some bright spark came along.

But then we discovered flint and steel …

My kids were absolutely convinced that my wife and I were contemporaries of Fred Flintstone. Actually, we were: the show came out in the early 1960’s we would have been a bit over 10 then.

Nonetheless they believed that I took the 8:15 dinosaur to work and that I actually knew what “yabba-dabba-do” means. It’s Neanderthal for “TGIF.”

I do come from an earlier epoch: one before computers and one where television signals came over the air and phone signals out of a wire in the wall. At least we had electricity and the light bulb.

He was never in the Boy Scouts.

And S’mores weren’t invented yet.

Thank goodness…no more whittling and rubbing…

I guess this kid knew how to start a fire using flint and other stones — the original remote controls.
