I was born in the year of the monkey myself, but apart from picking stuff out of my butt and eating it, you wouldn't know.
I'm a dog, but my wife, parents and in-laws are all horses. Giddy up!

so are you 43 or 55.
A trick question is to ask what animal of the Chinese zodiac a person is and one can then guess their age pretty accurately. I always answer Bu Zhi Dao when I am asked and that way they do not know my age
if you say ma in the second tone it means marijuana.
Thanks, this is my year! I am excited about it but my wife does not want me to tell anyone because people will be able to figure out how old I am. LOL!
