THE 'Y' CHROMOSOME
« on: July 01, 2014, 03:20:56 PM »
People born before 1946 are called - The Greatest Generation.

People born between 1946 and 1964 are called - The Baby Boomers.

People born between 1965 and 1979 are called - Generation X.

And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called -Generation Y.

Why do we call the last group -Generation Y ?

Y should I get a job?

Y should I leave home and find my own place?

Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?

Y should I clean my room?

Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?

Y should I buy any food?

But perhaps a cartoonist explained it most eloquently below..
Just thought you might want to know "Y

I'm pleased to learn I was born during the "Greatest Generation"...............but then, I think I've always known it anyway!! :grin
There are many paths to the top of the mountain.....but we all need to find our own way!

AKA "The Builders".  That's what I've heard them called. 
Me?  I'm a Boomer.  The lucky ones.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
