Kid 1: "I got my sister a VCP for her birthday."
Kid 2: "Don't you mean a VCR?"
Kid 1: "No, a VCP ... Very Cheap Present!"
There is still no cure for the common birthday.
~John Glenn
The tradition of placing candles on birthday cake is attributed to the early Greeks, who believed that the smoke of the candle carried their wishes and prayers to gods who lived in the skies.
