How old are you?

I'll take the good 'ol days than todays times.
It was fun seeing how much trouble you could get into without get caught.

I am so old, when God said let there be light, I threw the switch.

Actually will turn 70 in November. Never thought I would live this long.

TV wasn't invented in my early days. Being respectful was!

We had TV, an old Sylvania with a frame lite, there were only two national channels, hardly any commercials compared to today, and they stopped broadcasting at 10pm.
You didn't give any sass to your parents if you wanted to stay up later than 9pm.

I'm gonna take a stab at...... 1945

Your close.

I was born six years later to the day that Emperor Hirohito's announcement of the surrender of Japan ended WWII.

Please do forgive me if I'm wrong :)

Your forgiven. Actually I feel better for remembering some of those moments...

Even the Civil Defense Drills at home (No one knew how long the Korean war was going to last)...With the sirens going off, and running down into the cellar.

Okay, as Gary Moore would say (He had a variety show on one of the networks, I want to say CBS) ....."What was that wonderful year"?

1950!

Your getting warmer!
If the Emperor capitulated on August 15, 1945, and I was born six years later it would be 19__
