Labor Day Special

Bill: "Isn't it Monday today? Why are the neighbours home?"

Dad: "It's Labor Day!"

Bill: "Soo... Why isn't there more labor happening? Sounds more like No-Labor Day."

Dad: "Labor Day is when we celebrate the working man by not working. We all just hang out, eat hot dogs, and drink beer."

Bill: "Wow that's pretty sweet. The government actually did something right for a change. So what happens if you forget to buy something for your Labor Day bash or you just don't want hot dogs if everything is closed."

Dad: "Well stores and restaurants generally aren't closed. Some actually have big Labor Day sales so they can be pretty busy."

Bill: "At least nurses have the day off so mom is home."

Dad: "It just happens to be her day off. Nurses have to work most holidays."

Bill: "So basically the workers who matter most get the shaft. Who does get the day off then?"

Dad: "Bankers, lawyers, government workers, professional type people, etc."

Bill: "Are you serious with your face right now? The big day off for workers is only for people who already get like 5 weeks of vacation a year anyway? Meanwhile those that bust ass for minimum wage get to serve them?"

Dad: "Some ass busters get the day off depending on who they work for but yes for the most part the service industry and healthcare get nothing."

Bill: "Well here is to the folks who don't get to enjoy the day set aside just for them. We couldn't get by without you. Happy Labor Day."
