93. Dave Barry Turns 50, by Dave Barry

This is a satirical take on aging and the Baby Boomer generation, complete with a history of the Boomer generation through the 70's.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
