Keeping Up With the Times

 Sometimes Old Alice's mid-century origins are very apparent...

Old Alice: It sounds like the Soviet Union is up to no good again.
Anthony: Actually, the country's name is Russia.

Old Alice: Oh, is that what they call themselves now?
I suppose that was Khrushchev's idea.  Hmph.

Anthony: Putin.

Old Alice: What's he putting?

Anthony: Uh, do you ever watch the news, Alice?
Old Alice: You mean the newsreel shorts in the showhouse before the movie starts?
Anthony: No, on television.

Old Alice TELEVISION?!?
Do you mean to say that thing actually caught on?
