Metaphorically speaking, of course. Well, here's to another thirty years of insanity.

Happy Birthday, then!
You probably don't want to hear it, but I think 30 was the hardest. I scarcely minded turning 40, but at 30, I felt I had to prove I was still young & verile, so I took up mountain climbing & tae-kwon-do. Don't do anything reckless, Zack!

He's already 39.
Mr De Curry was talking about his parents' 30th wedding anniversary.

Um, no, my parents have been divorced for 14 years, actually. I was bragging about/mourning/referring to my 30th birthday.

I apologize, then.
But tell me, how does one feel at that venerable age of 30,
old man?

I guess one starts that new part of one's life with an enormous headache from all the feasting of the earlier night!

Eh, what was that, whippersnapper? You watch yourself, or I'll show you what us old farts can do with a
bedpan+4! Now where's my prune juice?
The worst part is that it'll be a few more years before I get my dang student loan paid off.

That doesn't sound too bad, though...
At least you aren't studying any more...
*Haaa, to earn my
own money... To live in my
own house... Youth is only romantic to those who are far enough away from it not to feel
young any more...*
