O.K., so I'm real late with my birthday wishes. Let me then be the first to wish you Happy Birthday for nextyear.
Here's a birthday joke for you and the rest of us turning "39" . . . again:
Joe and Ethel have been married for 50 years. It's 6 o'clock in the evening on her birthday and Ethel says to Joe:
"Joe. Run down to the store and get me some strawberry ice cream."
Joe says: "O.K., I'll be right back!", and starts to leave.
"Wait a minute," says Ethel. "You'd better write it down so you remember. Your memory's getting terrible."
Joe says, "What, you think I'm an idiot!? My memory's just fine. It's only one thing - strawberry ice cream - and the store's 5 minutes from here."
Ethel says, "Write it down like I told you! You're gonna' forget!"
Joe says, "Quit nagging. I'll be right back."
Joe walks out the door in a bit of a huff. . . An hour later he hasn't come back. Two hours later he's still not back. Finally, at 10 o'clock Joe proudly walks in the door with mushroom pizza.
"See?", he sneers at Ethel while pointing to the pizza. "I told you I didn't need to write anything down."
"Oh yeah?", says Ethel pointing at the pizza. "You forgot the olives!"
