Title: THE 'Y' CHROMOSOME
Post by: alans1100 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

AKA "The Builders".  That's what I've heard them called. 
Me?  I'm a Boomer.  The lucky ones.
