BIFF BIFFWELL'S WORLD OF DISCOVERY BIFF: Friends, have you ever wondered what happens to a day once it's over? I know I have! So we've come to the "Island of Used Up Days" to speak with yesterday March 23rd! So how'd things go for you yesterday? 23: I'll be honest with you, Biff. It was pretty dull. But there's always next year. BIFF: Next year? 23: That's how the "Island of Used-Up Days" works, Biff. I'll hang out here for the next 364 days until it's my turn again! There's always hope that next year, I'll be a historically significant day! BIFF: Hmm...has that happened to you in the past? 23: Well, not really...On March 23rd, 1912, the Dixie Cip was oinvented ...and on March 23rd 1985, piano man Billy Joel married supermodel Christie Brinkley...but **sigh** I'm just not one of the "big guys." 4th: 23rd, what's up? BIFF: Who was that? 23: July 4th, lucky stuff.
