i got told one today and while still fresh in my mind i'll post it and make a thread.
post your favorite back in my day jokes.
i much prefer the stories not made up ones.
now one day my great grandmother was telling a back in my dad story to my dad.
"back in my day we used to have no clothes because we were too poor and it poured down ALL day. we had to walk a 3 hour walk to get to school and at school we were taught outside and we had no food. there was nothing to protect us and so we had to get sticks which back then involved hitting a tree and if we were lucky we could find a stick and carve it sharp with snake skin; which we had to kill ourself which involved getting close to poisoned and use it to make a shelter. while we walked to school their were tigers and panthers. we used to have to jump on the trees cold and wet to not get bitten. there used to be this one who always stuck in the middle of the forest. we had to bring special leaves; which we had to get ourselves by searching to make it go away. we used barbwire on our feet sometimes but that was only once a year. we used to eat the eyes of the animals and that would be our food for the year. you kids have it easy."
my dad grew up and decided to go back to the town my great grandmother lived in.
