A little piece of information:



This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!
The year is 1908.
One hundred years ago.
What a difference a century makes !
Here are some statistics for the Year 1908 :
************************************
The average life expectancy was 47 years.

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower

The average wage in 1908 was 22 cents per hour.

The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year .

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,
A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

 

I was actually thinking about the "you might be a Monte fan..." thing last night. Before even seeing this thread. Scarey.

If you name your kids "Monty" and "Carlo", you might be a Monte-a-holic.

I like the lawyer-redneck joke. Funny stuff.

 

i have come to the conclusion with monte carlos being assosiated with nascar.... and nascar being genarlly a redneck sport(not makin fun of anyone i am one) i think that if you own a monte.....kids names monte and carlo(monte is a good name).....and yo love nascar....................you might be a redneck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
