Woman: When I say "February," what do you think of? Man: That whoever figured out a month with 28 days when the rest have 30 or 31 was worse at math than I am. Woman: I was hoping for "Valentine's day", but I guess that was a long shot.
My understanding is that days were taken from February back in Roman times to beef up July and August, so the emperors got 31 day months. Don’t know if it’s true, but it’s plausible.
