How about this one:
"Sales?! Back in my day, we didn't have sales. You had to walk
*FIFTEEN MILES* to a little hole-in-the-wall shack -- and you paid
full price when you got there, too!"
Or this one:
"A ride to school?!? Back in my day, we didn't get rides to school.
We had to walk *FIFTEEN MILES* up hill, in the snow -- and we were
really happy when we got there, too!"
Or this one:
"Sex?! Back in my day, we didn't have sex ..."
Oh, never mind; you get the idea, I'm sure ...! :oP
