The Zip Code.

The zip code is younger than John McCain.

There are two things I find funny about the fact that John McCain is older than the zip code system:
1. John McCain’s first address was something like:
The Parents of Potentially the Oldest Guy Ever to Become President
123 Main Street
East Nowhere, VA 12
Two digits. The country was so damn small that there were only two digits in the postal code.
2. It was a postal inspector who submitted a proposal for an updated system in 1944.
When I go to the Post Office, I’m lucky if I can find someone who isn’t breathing through a tube - but, apparently, in 1944, postal workers were so motivated by what they were doing that they put in overtime developing new systems for delivering mail. (It should be noted, however, that this system wasn’t implemented until the 1960s and, even then, it wasn’t mandatory… thus restoring my faith in their ineptitude.)
N.B.: People are going to post and say that East Nowhere, VA couldn’t possibly be his first address because he was born in Panama. I know - it’s just not as funny. You get the idea.
(Thanks to Brian for the tip!)

Alaska.

Alaska - the freaking state - is younger than John McCain.
And, for that matter, so is Hawaii. McCain is older than two of the fifty states.

OK, so here’s one of my all-time favorite jokes:
A polar bear asks his Mother, ‘Mom, am I a real polar bear?”
“Yes darling, of course you are.” his mother answered.
“Are you SURE I’m a polar bear?”
“Yes dear,” his mother replied, “You are. I am, you sister is, you’re father is, we’re all polar bears.”
“Are you POSITIVE?”
“Yes, yes, for the last time, you’re a polar bear! Why do you keep asking?”
“‘Cause I’m ****ing freezing!”
Anyway, that has nothing to do with McCain. But again, this guy is really, really old.
