TIL that George Burns was born in 1896.. Let that ish sink in…. A guy who most of us grew up watching in movies and on The Tonight Show and everything else, was born in the freaking 1800s (!) Life is wild, and math is stupid……..
My grandfather, not great grandfather, was born in 1889.
I'm not 60 yet. He died when I was 6 years old. I wish I had known him longer because all I remember was being scared of him. He wasn't mean, he just loved to pick on us.
