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.

Why couldn’t Garfield think of that with the Mondays?

So now do we say “TGIF-a” and “TGIF-b”?
Bilan almost 10 years ago
Wouldn’t that mean that you’d have to go back to work after the first Friday?
Arianne almost 10 years ago
Stupid bloody Tuesday Man you’ve been a naughty boy….

Ms. Weld wouldn’t be happy.

It seems I recall a joke calendar from 30+ years ago that was similar.
Sisyphos almost 10 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 almost 10 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 almost 10 years ago
Every day could be Christmas! Think of the implications! Or….don’t.

I’m okay with getting rid of Tuesday but add another SATURDAY !! Not Friday !
bornfree99 almost 10 years ago

I’ve never been a fan of Tuesdays or Thursdays. Mondays and Wednesdays aren’t so great either.

If you’re a camel, every day is Wednesday. (Sorry, I’ve got that stupid GEICO commercial stuck in my head.)

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.
Piksea Premium Member almost 10 years ago
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 almost 10 years ago
Hey! I was born on a Tuesday! Watch it, Pastis…
Squoop almost 10 years ago
But if there’s no Tuesday, how is Wimpy going to pay back Popeye for the hamburger?

Might wanna lose the Mondays as well, wise Rat. Then add in more Saturdays!

Clear proof that Rat isn’t all that bright. Adding a Saturday instead of a Friday would have been a better solution.
sunchaunzo almost 10 years ago
