There are the old standbys like "In my day, I had to walk to school, in the snow, uphill, both ways! What are some of your favorites, or better still make up some that you will use when your turn comes (and it will).

We didn't have computers or internet.

Instead of fighting with our fist, we'd Breakdance.
