THE OBSOLETE MAN!!!

I don't know how many folks here are fans of the twilight zone............its hard sometimes to see past the aliens, monsters on airplane wings or kids with superpowers.........sometimes its the actual stories themselves.................stories that stand the test of time. I happened to be watching some episodes last night and this one stuck out........frightingly a reality that we are fast approaching that pretty much was confirmed by joe bidens" financial" speech yesterday......

if anyone here has HULU, I strongly encourage my fellow t-man family to watch it...........its not very long ,,,maybe 45 minutes.............but wow!! thought provoking

“Delusions, Mr. Wordsworth. Delusions that you inject into your veins with printer’s ink; the narcotics you call literature- the Bible, poetry, essays.. all a kind of opiate to make you think you have a strength, when you have no strength at all. You have nothing but spindly limbs and a dream.”
------------------------------------------------------------------
kind of a scary episode of the twilight zone because this is slowly becoming a reality................" the obsolete man" !!

Pretty prophetic, isn't it?

it is.................rod serling was a very smart, and observant man.................who probably understood the highs and lows of humanity probably better than most of us ever will

Don't most Women think that Men are Obsolete ?

Oh, I still remember back when I was in College. I was going from one building, and hobbling across the side walk to the other building; to get to my next class. Well, there was this Girl with a stack of college books in her hands, and she was trying to open the door. So, I said " Let me get the door for you. " The look on her face spoke volumes !!! To this day, I will always remember what she said !

" OH, NO !! I DON'T NEED ANY MAN TO HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!! I CAN GET THE DOOR ALL BY MYSELF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And with that , I said OK !!!!


She goes to pull the door open, and in the process of opening the door, drops ALL HER BOOKS ONTO THE SIDEWALK!! The funny part, was that it was a mix of that slopping rain and snow, coming down ; when this happened. ALL of her books got soaked !!!!

My wife thanks me every day for being old fashioned. I hold doors open, escort her places and in general just be nice to women, regardless who they are.

That's Mick, Rocky's trainer.

you ARE INDEED correct.

Bet if you would have opened the door for her she would have went thru it any way !

Who would feel better then ?

Im a TZ fan...."To Serve Man" is tops on my list.

Librarians are usually college grads and thought of as liberals, no?

That was a great TZ episode. My favorite is, "It's a Good Life."

My brother is a university librarian, definitely liberal, borderline socialist.

I have never scolded for opening a door for a woman before, But maybe they just want to get away from uglyduck fast as possible...
