Default Re: Do you tell people your real age?

Not usually but sometimes I make up random lies to tell people I don't know and I will never see again that I meet in bars and stuff.

EDIT: When I said "not usually" I meant I don't usually lie about my age.

70% of the time, if you ask 30 people, someone will have the same birthday as you.

Anyone, anywhere. Ie. its a very profitable prop bet, if you are at a bar with more than 30 people in it. You take any 1 person, and ask 30 random people, 70% of the time, someone in that 30 random people will have the same birthday as that 1 person.

I can still get away with taking 5 years off. As for inflating my age when I was younger there was no need. The legal age of drinking in AZ at the time was 19. I frequented bars unabated at 17 with a fake ID until I was 19.

My god the memories. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You are older than 38 then, I believe they changed the drinking age in 1985?

I was born in 1969 so pretty much all of my friends got a razorblade and cut out the number "9" on our driver's licenses and turned them upside down and glued them back in so it said 1966. Worked like a charm. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This depends on whether anyone in the group is twins.
