This is the story of Bill and Steve.

Reddit user LincolnsLostSpeech said their fiance's uncle and his cousin have been passing the same birthday card back and forth over the last 47 years.

The card was purchased in 1970, and only cost 25 cents.

Since the 1970's, Bill and Steve have been carrying on this bit that has surely only made the two men laugh (and the rest of the family groan).

True friendship knows no bounds.
