My wife and I are eleven months apart. She gets carded and I don't. Some people just look young.

I used to be a buyer for a manufacturing facility. We'd joke that if something went wrong in production, they would blame the scheduler, the scheduler would blame the buyer, the buyer would blame the supplier, and the supplier would blame our quality team.

(Our QA dept had incredibly high turnover.)
