    What I find so funny is that the poor slobs that this holiday was meant for, the bottom rung workers, are often still working today. Garbage was picked up today, road work was going on and don't forget all the poor souls in retail busting their hump to make those labour day sales figures pop.
    I had to work. But it was time+half. free money

    On a slightly relevant note, I present to you:

    The Euro Language

    The European Commission has just announced an agreement
    whereby English will be the official language of the EU
    rather than German which was the other possibility. As part
    of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that
    English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted
    a 5 year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".

    In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly,
    this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c"
    will be dropped in favour of the"k". This should klear up
    konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year,
    when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This
    will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
    ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes
    are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double
    letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
    Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in
    the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.

    By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as
    replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year,
    ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and
    similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of
    leters.

    After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer
    vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi
    to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen
    ve vil tak over ze world!

    Hope you enjoyed it!

    No whining, unless you're serving really good cheese. Otherwise, put a cork in it.

    Certainly worth quoting in its entirety, it seems.
