How Old Is Grandpa?

How Old Is Grandpa?
One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events.
The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.  The grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute.  I was born before
television
penicillin
polio shots
frozen foods
Xerox
contact lenses
frisbees
credit cards
laser beams
ball-point pens
Pizza Hut
McDonald's
instant coffee
pantyhose
air conditioners
dishwashers
clothes dryers
and space travel
He continued: "When I was a boy, Ice cream cones and Pepsis were a nickel.  A nickel would buy enough stamps to mail a letter and two postcards.
You could buy a new Chevy Coup for $600 and gas was 11 cents a gallon."
You probably think this is a very old man.  If so, you are in for a shock!  This man would be only 69 years old.
