Hey, subtracting years is cheating. The proper method is to celebrate
anniversaries of a birthday. She kept celebrating the anniversary of her
39th birthday. Then later, she started celebrating the anniversaries of the
39th anniversary of her 39th birthday! Using this method, she never turned
40!

I remember all 25, and I highly resent your slanderous remarks about my
age!!! I'll have you know that I subtract 5 years each birthday, and am
now the youngest member of the list.
