Thanks. It's my worst birthday ever though.

Not because of the millstone... errrr... milestone. I'm stuck in Orlando on business, 1000 miles from my bikes, and up to my ears in work. Just taking a brief break before I crank out some more work before bed.

Welcome to our lawn. Now get the damn chicken off your head and celebrate your birthday with your (pick one) - 1) thick locks flowing in the breeze for all to see; 2) sublime thinning and receding hairline; 3) shinning top that’s without a mop.

There's a chicken on his head!? I thought it was creative use of hair product.

Happy belated birthday Doohickie.

So a man with a chicken on his head walks into the doctor's office. The doc sez, "hmmm. When did this start?"
The chicken points to his nether region and sez,"it all started with what I thought was a wart right here."

Unless you are my lawn... then you are just some crazy old geezer who probably got lost and has his family out looking for him.



Congratulations on making it to crazy old geezer status.

Yeah, but you're still not eligible for the seniors' discount for another 12 to 15 years. (And by then there will be so many of us that they'll remove it!)
