Further proof of my theory that Millennials are basically just the WWI lost generation
“On February 12, 1916, in an old bombed-out printing house off the main square, near the Cloth Hall, in Ypres, appeared the first issue of the Wipers Times, famous precursor of the “New Church” Times, the Kemmel Times, the Somme Times, the B.E.F. Times, and, finally, in November 1918, the “Better Times.” The humor was, with scarce exception, black.
… In the Somme Times, at the end of July 1916, was to be found a questionnaire:
Are you a victim to Optimism?
You don’t know?
Then ask yourself the following questions.1. Do you suffer from cheerfulness?
2. Do you wake up in the morning feeling that all is going well for the allies?
3. Do you sometimes think that the war will end within the next twelve months?
4. Do you believe good news in preference to bad?
5. Do you consider our leaders are competent to conduct the war to a successful issue?If your answer is “Yes” to any one of these questions then you are in the clutches of that dread disease.
We can cure you.
