I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
"This is the 21st century, old man," he said. "We don't waste money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPad."
 
I can tell you, that friggin' fly never knew what hit it ...

I thought this would be the right forum for a joke like this.
Where would you prefer to see it?
I checked the soapbox for "newspaper" and "fly" and couldn't find a post regarding this topic, assuming that would be sufficient Smile | :)

I don't think it's wrong to post this in the Soapbox, just a bit strange. I see the soapbox as the kinda NSFW version of the Lounge, so if something is appropriate for the Soapbox but SFW, then I'd put it in the Lounge instead. The previous time this joke was posted it was in the Lounge, and it was accepted favourably.
 
Just my 2 cents.

No no, it is also appropriate for old jokes. Poke tongue | ;-P

1, 2 & 5 cent coins went out here a few years back. So you better make it 10 cents. Smile | :)
If your neighbours don't listen to The Ramones, turn it up real loud so they can.
