Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on May 20, 1935)

Happy birthday, Mickey Rose! The genius who turned bananas into comedy gold—literally—and effortlessly helped Woody Allen translate culinary espionage in "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" into comedic perfection. Your pen has tickled funny bones so skillfully that even villains laugh and spies pause mid-espionage to giggle.

Today reminds us of the unparalleled gift you have for making absurdity seem perfectly normal and humor timelessly fresh. May your birthday be filled with laughs as bold as your scripts, jokes stronger than secret-agent sandwiches, and celebrations more delightfully absurd than anything you've ever written—which might just be impossible! Cheers!
