J.F Kennedy ran for and won the American Presidential Election in the year I had turned 20.
The youth of the time were not as bright as the young ones of today; we didn’t yet know everything but we did speak a lot about how much we knew.
A disease named VD scared most of us but not everyone; in my time though, only one friend collected the dubious distinction; most of us married the first girl he got to know.
Some years later as the youth got to know more somebody announced the discovery of a more serious affliction than VD and they called it Herpes. As young ones became cleverer and soon knew everything they also discovered Aids but that was long after our time.
Some wise crack in his mid twenties came out with the rather comical joke during the Herpes period.
Question: What is the difference between Love and Herpes?
Answer: Herpes lasts forever.
Now that everyone knows everything when he/she is 18, even has the vote [heck in our time we had to wait for 21]; heck, I wonder who can solve this riddle.
Question: What is the difference between Greece and the EU?
Ah well, I am old enough now and Greece is very old; let me give you the answer:
What is the difference? Answer: Greece will last forever.
