My dear wife, ‘er indoors, whose actual age is the smallest prime number

which is not the difference, in some order, between a power of 2 and a power

of 3, still occasionally gets “carded” when buying my beer supply at the

local supermarket. When it happens, it leaves her chuckling over it for a

week afterwards.
