Funny birthday card
By Tom Smith

My lovely sister in law sent me the following birthday card, which cracks me up. (Thursday is my fsomething birthday):

Picture of skinny old guy, white shoes and belt, golf shirt, next to solid old wife, short gray hair, golf shirt. He is pointing authoritatively at something off shore; it looks like San Diego
"And that land mass there is called 'stick out point' because of the way it sticks out into the water . . ."
[Inside card:] One year older, one year closer to making up crap.

And then, in class yesterday, a male student says to me: "Has anyone ever told you you look just like that guy on the [some talk show I've never heard of].
Female student: You mean the old guy?
Me: Old guy?!!
Female student: I'm sorry. My filter doesn't seem to be working.
