When Tom was born on February 29, his parents were struck by the realization that they had given birth to someone with a bissextile orientation.

He began working in the textile factory as a young man in 1808 and it was there that he would meet his first male lover and discover that his unquenchable passions applied to both genders; no longer in operation, the plant now is a historic landmark and bears a unique plaque placed there by the Royal Historical Society and the Queer Youth Network of the UK, that reads, "Lord Byron, while here, for a year, weaving textiles, discovered he was bisexual, in the year 1808, bisextile."

Why hasn't any presidential debate had a question about the bilateral bisextile textile trade agreements?

Eddie was ecstatic when his new girlfriend revealed that she was bissextile, until she explained that meant she only got busy every four years.

Jabril,

For wittiness, you have me beat.

All best,

Ed (not Eddie)

Do suffer from Low Birth Date Syndrome? The depression that sets in from realizing that you will have 1/4 of the birth days that normal people have can be devastating.

There is no cure yet, but here at Pfizer, we've been working diligently on developing drugs to treat this devastating disease.

Announcing Quad-Luuds. When taken with alcohol, it packs 4 birthdays in to just one - Because no one should suffer Bissextile Dysfunction.

Come on down to Big Gay Al's flooring where if you bissextiles, you get the seventh one free!

All best,

Thanks. I'm a little worried though that I've opened myself up to charges of homophonia.

John had always known that he was "different". For years he suffered in silence, alone and confused. Then, on his 15th birthday, thanks to Bissextiles [BS] Annonymous, John summoned the courage to confront his parents with the truth and to demand that they accept him as he truly was...a bissextile adult. "I know I'm bissextile," he told them, "and that I'm 60, not 15."

The Presidential campaign of $$$$%@#$%#$#$ rammed an iceberg and sank this past week when the candidate said, "I can relate to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons, 'cause I was born on February 29th; I'm bissextile."

While not as lucrative as the Y2K bug, the bissextile flaw found in Windows 2008 will keep computer programmers busy until the end of February.

djs: homophobia, nah; but linolephobia ...

As recently encountered in the SAT analogy questions section ...
