Today I was at the beach with my buddy. Messing around, he swam up behind me and dunked me under the water.

Today I went for a job interview on my birthday. I had on a shirt and a tie, and I had my BlackBerry in my pocket. I was running a little late, so I dashed outside. As I went out the door, a bunch of my buddies screamed “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” and poured Gatorade all over me. FML
