So's ya walk into a speakeasy, see? there’s a buncha mugs standin’ around, drinkin’ bathtub gin and yappin’ about their birthdays

Now ya might think, "What’re the odds two o’ these palookas were born on the same day?'

probably slim, right?

wrong, see? you don’t need a hundred mooks in the room.

You only need 23 people before the odds of a birthday match hit better than 50-50

that’s right, dollface, just 23 mugs and bootleggers, and odds are better than a coin flip that two of ‘em are blowin’ out candles on the same day
