Lad works hard on Sunday

I have received two emails and one telephone message from my favorite lad today.

I have told him that tomorrow is an American holiday, but he insists that
Western Union will be open anyway.

Do you even have a WU office in your small fishing village in your far North-Eastern Island community?

Plus this American holiday means your bank will be closed. It's a 2 hour Ferry ride to the mainland, which is operated by a group of Russian ex-pat fishermen who love their vodka. So ending up at the mainland is more a hit-and-miss event. You have to then worry about transport to the bank, which I believe is at least an hours drive, or a 4 hour walk, since you don't have a car because the drunken fishermen missed the ramp and dropped it in the sea 2 months ago.

Not that you can walk. Remember last weekend while participating in the annual cheese run, you slipped on a wheel of cheddar and broke your interior fibulious?

Don't email him for three days and tell him that you did go, and WU was closed. Something about that holiday you mentioned.

This shit writes itself.

Hasn't he heard about the hurricane ?

The streets are deserted and the WU office is flooded.

He'll find it hard to argue against a half truth.

Plus as a devout worshiper of the god Labor, you certainly can't be expected to do business on such a holy day.

I couldn't agree more!

Baiter rule #27 The lad is always wrong, even when he's right. In the UK we have Bank Holidays always on a Monday, in fact we had one last week. Of course all the banks and related financial institutions are closed for the day so all the staff can all take the charabanc to the coast to dip their toes in the raw sewage being pumped out. Combined with the swimming this leads to a severe outbreak of foot and mouth disease which means that all the staff are off sick and shop is shut up for at least three more days.

^^^ Huh? If you ask some of my current lads, we had a Bank Holiday last Monday and we're having one today. I think you should check your calendar again!

Sorry, NTBS - it's the turn of the Colonists to have a holiday. Very Happy

And what about the Church of Holy Tuesday? Every tuesday, you are required to take a day off, and cannot do business.
