I did a rundown of stuff that's happened since our graduation...you could do the same for him, talk about how things have changed since his birth.

"In 1977, Federal spending was $409.22 billion dollars, roughly what Dick Cheney currently spends annually on dry ice and raw herring for his secret undisclosed location. In 1977 British Airways introduced supersonic Concorde service between London and New York City; oddly enough, if the supersonic flights were still available today, you’d be required to arrive at the airport and wait in line for longer than the duration of the actual trans-Atlantic flight."

"Believe it or not, 1977 was also the year that Bill Clinton took public office for the first time, as Attorney General of Arkansas, shortly after receiving his law degree in from Yale University in 1973. Now, ironically, 1973 was also the year that a Dr. Bernard Lewinsky was handing out cigars to celebrate the birth of his daughter, Monica."

(This could work if you point out some other prominent Republican in the family -- reword as needed...it was a big hit at my reuion...)

"When I with you all last time, (Joe Smith) was here, all suited up, said he was going to run for public office. As a Republican Senator, which really surprised me because I didn’t even know he was gay!"
