Hmmm.... after reading that, two things immediately came to mind.
1. Bet he doesn't get out much.
2. If/when he ever gets married, he better never forget her birthday/anniversary/whatever. He will never, ever, ever be able to come up with an excuse that will fly.

They say "pie are squared". Everyone knows pie are round.

I knew some pretty square pies in my day. But that's another thread entirely...
