This is a great number ! It's in honor of everyone who has fibbed about his or her age. Among people over 45, this is probably the most prevalent age in America. :-)

I never lie about my age. I've already outlived my father (who died when I was 12), so I'm just grateful to be around. Besides, lying should be reserved for really important stuff... like how big one's desk is. And, yes, reesetee, I'M TALKING TO YOU!!

I've always been partial to the numbers 22 and 47, myself...although 83 is really nice as well, and of course you can't forget 129.
