Uncle Sam

I was recently taking a cab in Boston and the driver was wicked chatty. Just before he dropped me off, he said "Uncle Sam is not my uncle. You know that, right?"

"I guess," I said warily.

"Well, I mean, he doesn't come to my birthday party," he replied.

Sadly, I had arrived at my stop and could not find out what the hell he was talking about.


Happy 4th of July!

Hey, Uncle Sam isn't my uncle, either!

Come to think of it, I never got a birthday card from Uncle Sam. Maybe he isn't my uncle either.
