A man thought all his birthdays had come at once, yesterday, when he was presented with a birthday cake, and wished "Happy Birthday!" - even though his birthday isn't until June!
Moys Kenwood, still 48, was sitting at a computer working, when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a seething mass of humanity creeping in his direction - the Bangkok school's local teaching staff.
All of a sudden, a cry rang out:
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you!
Kenwood tried to look pleased, then smiled, and blew the solitary candle out. Then, he proceeded to the supervisor's office to ask her what the deal was with the '5-months-early celebration'. She told him:
"I look on your record, and I see 'Jan 24', so it's your birthday."
"That's Jun 24," he said, "not Jan."
As he left the office, he raised his eyebrows, and puffed-out his cheeks.
