Amazon.com Easter Egg

From TJIC:

1) Go to Amazon.com
2) use search tool to search for "Old Fart" without the quotes.

If it stops working, the punch line is

Hee, that's cute!

I think that's one of the best things about hitting the tens -- your friends, family, and cow-orkers will try to embarrass you with pranks like this, and the bigger the better. Just think: You're hoping that everyone's forgotten your 40th. You play like you forgot, too, and act normal. So of course, you must go to work. On your usual drive in, you pass a billboard on the side of the road, where thousands of cars pass by every hour, and on it is your baby picture with the message, "HEY, EVERYBODY!! IT'S BOB'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!! HAPPY 40TH, BOB!! -- Your Evil Friends at MoneyBank.com" You can't avoid it. Even if you don't go to work, or take a different route, that sign will still be there, and thousands will see it. And some of them will know you, and make sure you know they saw it. So you should look forward to it. I know I am.

I drive a lot, and I see this sort of thing from time to time. While driving on US 44 on the way to UConn some years back, I passed a big sign at that farm on the hill overlooking Coventry: "Holy Cow! Look Who's 40 Today!" -- with the guy's photo, of course. You just gotta love stuff like that.

By the way: When's your birthday, and how old are you? Just, you know, asking..
