Around here and at their peak shorts were 4.40 bucks a hundred and were available. That was when you couldn't find anything else too.

When I started driving legally, gasoline was 19 cents a gallon.

... and shorts were 55 cents a box at the 7-11.

Obviously, you weren't buying Jockey shorts. (rim shot)

Gasoline might have been a little cheaper when I was about 12 and
actually started driving my dad's jeeps around the boatyard and retail
store. Four years later, when I took my driver's license test, the
driving instructor who accompanied me (a requirement in those days) had
to bring an old Plymouth from the late 1940s for me to use, because his
other drivers' ed cars had automatic transmissions and I had no
experience with those. The Plymouth (or maybe it was a Chrysler) had
"fluid drive," but you could still drive it as a column mounted stick
shift. I seem to recall you didn't have to use the clutch when
shifting...but that could be a mistaken memory.

The retail store was next door to a service station that sold tires and
gasoline. I could drive from the back of my dad's store to the gas
station's property without putting a tire on the city's street, and tow
boats over there to fill up their tanks with gasoline and two cycle oil.
