Hey, its my birthday! I'm 39 years old and still in professional philosophy!
So this morning my wife greets me in song:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
One more year till you're OLD!
What do you think she owes me for that one?
4: What's this uniform that gets one seats, free drinks and sexual favors?
That's what that is, Chris.
Happy birthday, Rob.
Happy birthday, kid! I could legally be your father here but not there, how daft is that?
