An older member of the village passed away last year, yet his gravestone stated that he'd passed away at the age of 18. Fearing a mix-up by the stonecutter, the family asked why he had used that number. The stonecutter replied, "The man was born on February 29th. As that day only comes in leap years, he only had 18 birthdays in total. The family laughed and then realized they could have saved a bundle on birthday presents had they realized this from the beginning.
