Son: If people are not working, shouldn’t we call today ‘No-Labor Day?’ One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.  However, the only person to get his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe. Monday is Labor Day, and I understand that Paris Hilton is dumping some of her boyfriends this weekend. Paris k...
