At the grocery store this afternoon, I picked up a six of Sapporo and a bottle of Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout. The cashier did not ask for my ID; they are required to enter a birthdate, however, and I noticed she’d put me down for January 23rd, 1945.
Jesus. Do I look like I’m pushing sixty? I want my twenty-two years back!
The explanation, of course, is that this date is easy to enter into the system: 1/23/45.
To be honest, Bart, you’re no spring chicken. I’d have given you the senior discount.
