I share a birthday with Geraldo Rivera, Ann Landers, and Abagail Van Buren (Dear Abby). [shuttering]

My claim to fame is Hiroshima Day (Aug 6th) except I was 15 years too late.

My son Fatso (not, strangely enough, his real name) was born on the 20th of April, the anniversary of Hitler’s birthday.
