2008, 2009 for a person claiming to be 99! Well, I guess the humor there was too nuanced
I was in a hurry, so I guess it wasn't clear anyway.

But, if he, the jester that he is, lists his birthday as Jan 1 (given that you don't have to list it at all).....Then I, jester that *I* am, will choose to make my clownish celebration of 2008, in 2009, and treat it the same way I would anyone's BD, but with the CLOWNS attached!
I don't know how old Mr. Jim might be....I know COD is NOT 99! I figured I would leave Mr. Jim out of the joke.
There ARE people born on Jan 1 though you know? My sister's BD is December 31st poor girl! Can't even get a good, quiet seat at a restaurant to celebrate without forty other drunks hobnobbing about the place!
