44 for me Barney.
Now a joke:
THE PIOUS AND THE ATHEIST
A very religious man lived right next door to an atheist.
While the religious one prayed day in, day out, and was
constantly on his knees in communion with his Lord, the
atheist never even looked twice at a church.
However, the atheist's life was good, he had a well-paying
job and a beautiful wife, and his children were healthy and
good-natured, whereas the pious man's job was strenuous and
his wages were low, his wife was cheating on him and his
kids wouldn't give him the time of the day.
So one day, deep in prayer as usual, he raised his eyes
towards heaven and asked: "Oh God, I honor you every day,
I ask your advice for every problem and confess to you my
every sin. Yet my neighbor, who doesn't even believe in
you and certainly never prays, seems blessed with every
happiness, while I go poor and suffer many an indignity.
Why is this?" And a great voice was heard from above ...
"BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BOTHER ME ALL THE TIME!"
