I have been married twice.  First wife was born on 28 February on a
leap year, second wife on 1 March 3 years earlier.  We can't agree on
the age difference.

The other reference, of course, is Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates
of Penzance", where Frederic, the hero, was born on 29 February 1860
and apprenticed to a band of pirates until his 21st birthday (a
paradox: 29 February 1940).
