This is not about me, but it is funny so I am sharing.

Halloween weekend one of my friends went out to a costume party on a college campus. He’s my age – 28 – so knew he would be older than the student attendees of the party. Like most of us though, he still feels the same as he did in college so thought it would be no big deal.

Now my friend, we’ll call him Tony, because that is indeed his name, is a little on the lazy side when it comes to costumes. His usually strategy is just to wear a funny t-shirt and call it a day.

True to form, Tony wore a t-shirt reading “I’m what Willis was talking about.” It’s funny, right?

Well, people didn’t get it. He tried to explain.

“I’m what people were talking about.”

Blank stares.

He stressed the word “I’m” more and more in each explanation, but it didn’t help.

Finally, one person looks at him and says, “Sorry, I was born in 1987.”
