Case in point, my oldest daughter. 21 this January. THAT makes me feel old. I was only 24 when I had her

One of my daughter's friends and I were talking and I made reference to the show All In The Family and he didn't get it, didn't even know what that was.
sigh.

You know you're getting old when "generation gap" jokes you used to tell fall flat because they contain cultural references the current generation doesn't understand.
Case in point:
"Was Paul McCartney in another band before Wings?"
Even the younger generation has probably heard of the Beatles, but now we've got people who haven't heard about less-famous bands such as Wings.

My favorite "Damn I'd old" story & this happened in '95....
I was telling some people about the new movie,Apollo 13,when one young lady blurts out "Don't tell me the ending!"

Ha! I got ya beat on that one! I had a lady say the SAME THING about The Passion of Christ!!!! 
And Blas, I'm with ya on the Oregon Trail. We had the Apple computer lab at our school and once a week we'd go and play Oregon Trail, Amazon Trail (the lamer one!) and Math Blasters!
I had a bad "I'm old" feeling the other day at work. My CW and I were on the topic of Lady Gaga and she made the comment of how original she was. I responded that she was just another Madonna for this generation. The response was: "Who's Madonna?"  and this girl is a MUSIC major in university!

One of the worst ones I had was when I was working. (I posted it here long ago). A kid picked up, I think it was Ebony magazine, which had Michael Jackson on the cover. "Why the fuck is he on this, he ain't black!"
....
....
....oh man.
