“Does anyone remember playing solitaire with real cards?”

“I’m so old, I can remember playing solitaire with an actual deck of cards” is a saying that has been printed on several images. Many—perhaps most—people now play solitaire on the computer.
   
“Does anyone remember playing solitaire with real cards?” was posted on Twitter by Almost Famous on August 17, 2009. “I’m so old I remember playing solitaire with an actual deck of cards” was posted on Twitter by Jill Farris on January 10, 2014. “Geez thought of the day…..I’m so old…..I remember playing solitaire with a deck of cards” was posted on Twitter by tom padgett on July 20, 2016. “i’m so #old..i #remember #Playing #solitaire with a #deck of #cards” (also shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by gwendell parsons hampton on January 17, 2017.
     
“Computers were down at work. It took me 20 minutes to shuffle the cards to play solitaire” is a related solitaire joke.
 
     
Wikipedia: Solitaire
Solitaire is any tabletop game which one can play by oneself, usually with cards, but also with dominoes. The term “solitaire” is also used for single-player games of concentration and skill using a set layout tiles, pegs or stones. These games include peg solitaire and mahjong solitaire. The game is most often played by one person, but can incorporate others.
