It’s a widespread assumption that anyone born in, or before, the 50’s or early 60’s cannot even fathom the grandeur of modern technology.

I believe I was in the sixth grade when I heard my first “that’s what she said” joke. At the time it didn’t make much sense, a cluster of innocent words made hilarious by a simple phrase.
