I enlisted in the USAF and retired after 25 years, six months and five days . . . but it didn't take. After a boring three day weekend, I went to work at the U.S. Department of Justice, where I spent another 20 years, six months, and 24 days . . . but who's counting? After 46 years and 29 days, my wife told me I had to retire . . . I said: "Yes, dear." and did.
