The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 17, 2023

after a while, you stop having birthdays and start having anniversaries

Never ask a lady her age.

Truth and accountability

Our mother taught us to not lie about our ages. She never did and neither do we. I’m happy to be 85.

Just append letters to indicate the number of years over 39. Gladys is 39E.

BTW my wife says that in her eyes I’m still as young as the first time we met. So I’m 36AI

Mother Gargoyle (sic) is 39 and 600.

I’m fifteen years old – fifteen years and 390 months.

Wilberforce will never figure out his Mother’s answer because he failed Math.

39, more or less, give or take

Jack Benny’s still 39 and he’s long gone.

Now do the math.

314 for me.

Good ole Gladys Thornapple, who knew she was from Waukegan IL.

The current standing (except when he falls down) U.S. President is 152529385235.2 months old. If you ask him, he doesn’t remember, however.

Thirty-nine and holding.

I have never lied about my age. If I did, I would claim to be older. I would rather have people think I look good for my age than bad for my age. Mostly, I don’t think much about age anyway. It’s not something I can control.

Like my 10th grade English teacher said, she’s 39 and holding…

Uh…another 5 years or so………

And you tell Wilberforce not to lie.

so she’s 44?

Children are a blessing of course. However, he came a little late in the marriage it seems if they were young sweethearts….

Just say you celebrated your 15th anniversary of your 29th birthday!

I’m four foot 23 inches tall.

Jack Benny’s sister?

That would be 528 months/12 = 44 years old – I’m getting better at math mom. How many months old is dad…

The budget for background art must be running low?

a buddy who’s three days older than me just hates when i send birthday wishes that remind him he’s older. which is exactly why i make doubly sure not to forget his birthday…

39 plus 60 months? 44? Gladys telling porkies.

it’s her anniversary type of birthday… That’s what mom tells me anyways. :}
