Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on November 29, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Bill Jenkins! Celebrating another year of wisdom and wit—after all, surviving Congress for a decade deserves its own medal. Your tireless dedication to Tennessee's 1st congressional district from 1997 to 2007 remains legendary; rumor has it even the Capitol cafeteria still misses your jokes.

Your legacy continues strong as folks fondly recall your steadfast leadership and genuine humor. While others debated endlessly, you always knew how to lighten the mood with timeless charm. Here's wishing you a birthday filled with laughter—and may your speeches forever remain shorter than congressional recesses!

Cheers to many more memorable years ahead!
