Not sure if this is funny or sad?

  • So last night went to dunner with Wooly. I decided I wanted a glass of wine with my dinner, usually by now I am on my Crown but for some reason I wanted wine.  Anyway the very young waitress asked to see my ID.  At first I thought this girl was joking but she explained that no she could not serve me without see ing my ID.  So I got my wallet out and pulled my ID out and handed it to her.  She looked at it for a minute, while doing this I joked that questioning my age was not going to get her a bigger tip.   She then handed it back and  I then asked "Okay now that you know when I was born how old am I?"  She could not answer it.  I think it is sad when a person can not figure out 3 of 66 is 49...
