- “You’re like a fine wine – you get better with age... or maybe you just make everyone around you drunk with laughter!”
- “Another candle on the cake? That’s more like a forest fire by now! Happy Birthday, you wildfire!”
- “You know you're getting older when the candles cost more than the cake. Happy Budget-Friendly Birthday!”
