Do You Remember? 5-Minute TV Warmups...

When it took five minutes
for the TV to warm up?

When a quarter was a decent allowance?

When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?

When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped
for no extra charge, every time you went to the gas station?

When gasoline cost only 35 cents a gallon?

When you could find free glasses, dishes, or towels hidden inside a box of
laundry detergent?
