16. Damn! Why would you want to wax Butch? Maybe I should dial KLondike 5-1212 to find out.

 

Yeah, I think some of these things are cultural as well as age-related. For example, I may be old enough to know what Butch Wax is, but I never really hung around lesbians much...

 

i got 9!

fortunately am not very familiar with others

 

24 for me. Yeah, no ****.

I don't think #8 belongs on that list. That was a generation before the rest. It should be replaced with the more appropriate "duck and cover."

 

Well, look at the bright side. The number is bound to go down in the coming years as your mind fades and you forget what half of them are.

 

now you're that old

 

Score of 6. ...
Well I am only 21

 

In my defense, I remember #25 because I used one to wash my car when I was very young. My mom had one of those newfangled electric washing machine thingies. Wash tubs were a generation before.

I never saw one being used as designed, but I remember seeing them rotting away in backyards, basements, or garages.

So, my number is actually 23. Makes me feel like a kid.

 

Well, give it a few weeks -- you may go down one or two more. My number is the same as Drew's -- 16.
