In fact, we have a simple solution - move the birthdays of all those born in August to other months. Here’s how it would work: > > Move people born on August 1st, 2nd and 3rd to January 1st, 2nd and 3rd. > Move people born on August 4th, 5th and 6th to February 4th, 5th and 6th. > Move people born on August 7th, 8th and 9th to March 7th, 8th and 9th. > Move people born on August 10th, 11th and 12th to April 10th, 11th and 12th. > Move people born on August 13th, 14th and 15th to May 13th, 14th and 15th. > Move people born on August 16th, 17th and 18th to June 16th, 17th and 18th. > Move people born on August 18th, 19th and 20th to July 18th, 19th and 20th. > Move people born on August 21st, 22nd and 23rd to September 21st, 22nd and 23rd. > Move people born on August 24th, 25th and 26th to October 24th, 25th and 26th. > Move people born on August 27th, 28th and 29th to November 27th, 28th and 29th. > Move people born on August 30th and 31st to December 30th and 31st. You can’t possibly have any objections now, right? 🙂 -D/a ---
