This paleo-future advertisement came from the back of a 1955 issue of Scientific American. Life was grand with all those labor saving appliances, wasn't it? Thanks to those ball bearings our work time decreased and our leisure time increased so much that we had time to invent jet packs and underwater houses. Life sure is great in the future that never was.

That looks exactly like a cardboard Barbie house I owned. I mean exactly.
It looks like the spam bot got you.
I wish my laundry and all my housework would do itself. Then I could blog all day and all night :)
Housewives really dressed like that? Really?!?
Still wanna know where the flying cars are?!?
I still harbor fantasies of a Jetsons-like existence.
Dammit, I want the future they promised me -- especially all that liesure time that we would have because of computer and other machines that would do all our work for us. Scientists suck!
Hey, my brand new washing machine is whirring away in the basement right now. I'm on the computer reading this blog instead of being down by the river swishing around my hubby's boxers. I'm pretty damn happy. I love me some ball bearings.
I love this style of advertising art.
All it took were a few ball bearings...
I don't need an automatic clothes washer in my underwater house. I just throw everything outside. My friends on land say that water is full of salt and fish crap, but they're just jealous.
I miss that future we never had. Except for the food in toothpaste tubes. I don't miss never having had those.... if you know what I mean.
So it will iron my socks? And my cat? Thank you ball bearings.
