It's also the day after which one does not wear white. Unless one is Canadian and visits Florida in January to go golfing.
Why do we celebrate American or Canadian workers today when almost everything we buy is made by some guy in China?
In Canada, we spell labor l-a-b-o-u-r. That's because we're big on sheep here. In America, there's no ewe in labor. (That's a pun.)
Some of us celebrate the long labor day weekend with BBQs, burgers and beer.
The rest of us just skip right to the beer and then labor to get up Tuesday morning.
It is not the celebration of pregnant women about to give birth. Although, it could be.
And it is not the celebration of dull, tedious sex. After all, who would celebrate that.

It's definitely all about us. (You Canadians would say "aboot".) Thanks for making me start my well-earned day off with a laugh!
Get oot!
I've never quite understood why labour day is celebrated by staying home and being lazy. Makes no sense at all.
I don't know about you but I'm waiting for dull, tedious sex.
You're doing it wrong.
I'm just happy to do it.
I'm just waiting for the uproar to be heard from the ones who haven't worked a day in their life because there's not a "sit on your a$$ day".
Labour Day? Oh, so the stores were closed? No? Heh. Didn't think so. Quite a few places open here on Christmas Day, too. Bah humbug, etc. Roth
Bad is better than none.
Are you speaking from experience?
Oh, you mean retired people?
Well, shouldn't someone be working on Labour Day? Otherwise wouldn't they call it Take the Day Off Day?
you crack me up! I spent labor day in pajamas, on the sofa, watching TV.
Are you upset there isn't a sit on your ass day?
Nah.
Okay, just checking. Me either.
:)
