I ask because way back when he provides the combo for his safe it comes out to 56221. I was thinking he may have used his birthday as a combo like most folks, only in year/day/month format so that it would come out to 01/22/56. I know, it's a stretch, but thats what happens when these gears get to turning.
1956 was the year I was born, and I was too young for 'Nam, and the Viet Nam draft ended January '73, putting the last draftees having been born in 1955. Burt might have gotten in early by lying about this age, but I think he mentioned "In my day, the judge said jail or Army", which might indicate not. My money's on that being Shirley's birthday.
