If you're in Denny's and it's your birthday, your life sucks!

Not all 'mericans have been able to milk and bilk Uncle Sam for the over generous pension and benefits as y'all did, Johnny.

No some people were able to dodge the draft and let other people put
their life on the line to protect the country for a salary that did
not even meet the minimum wage at the time.
If you lived that life for over two decades, you deserve that pension.
Give John a break.


You may have missed this comment from him...which triggered my response.
" If you're in Denny's and it's your birthday, your life sucks!"

Not sure if I've ever been in a Denny's restaurant but I wouldn't belittle others who may only be able to treat their families to modest surroundings.
Guess we should just mark it up to different cultures.

Denny's is an OK place to go get a grand slam after the bars close but
I am not sure most people would consider it a birthday present. It is
basically a Waffle House without the "Scattered and Smothered" home
fries.
