Pig: Hey, Rat... Who crossed all the tuesdays off of our calendar? Rat: I did. Everything bad that's ever has happened on a tuesday. Pig: So you just got rid of them? Rat: Yes. So now we go straight from Monday to Wednesday. Pig: Our month may be a little quick. Rat: No it won't. I added Fridays.

It seems I recall a joke calendar from 30+ years ago that was similar.
Sisyphos about 9 years ago
Proposed and/or attempted bizarre calendric reforms seldom if ever succeed for any enduring length of time. Rat is not really thinking through all the implications of no Tuesdays and multiple Fridays….
PICTO about 9 years ago
If you’re going to add any days to the week I’d like to suggest an extra day off and a pay day in every week.
Vonne Anton about 9 years ago
Every day could be Christmas! Think of the implications! Or….don’t.

Tuesday afternoon—I’m just beginning to see, and now I’m on my way. It doesn’t matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Wait a minute…does this mean today is actually Wednesday? Did my mom miss her doctor’s appointment? I was supposed to drive.

We don’t need any extra Fridays. What we need are extra Saturdays!

The French Republican Calendar would drive Rat crazy. Every week had ten days.

My coworkers would never again have the Tuesday morning “Monday Night Football” hangover again. Could improve our productivity…or just make Wednesday morning less so.
NWdryad about 9 years ago
Hey! I was born on a Tuesday! Watch it, Pastis…
Squoop about 9 years ago

sperry532 about 9 years ago
Clear proof that Rat isn’t all that bright. Adding a Saturday instead of a Friday would have been a better solution.
sunchaunzo about 9 years ago
