Come with me back to last May. It was a Monday night--the 19th to be exact. It would become an important night for Jon Lester but that didn't happen until later in the evening. We're still in the first or second inning.
It's not a particular affection for Heidi that causes me remember this (my head is generally filled with useless information) but she began babbling on about how it was her birthday. Dear Don took the thread and ran with it. He wanted to know when Jerry's birthday was but Jerry didn't want to play. Then he casually mentioned that his birthday was December 16. The inning ends. Cut to commercial.
Or not.
Jerry and Don think that they are in a commercial break and start chatting. They criticize some girl's sign, American (?) Airlines, and then Jerry turns on Don. He demands to know why Don revealed the date of his birth. Sheepishly, Don admits that he hopes that viewers will send him birthday cards with cash to commemorate the event.
So. If you wish to fulfill his request (and he is turning forty)...
