Spring Ahead!

The next time Congress gathers to discuss passing a bill that messes with THE TIME, I suggest that they bump Daylight Savings to 4pm on a Monday. That way we could leave work early to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. I hate to lose an hour of a glorious Sunday spent with 3 o'clock friends, appliance shopping at Sears and grilling hamburgers in the back yard.

Dear Congress, I would like my hour back please. I didn't even finish reading the newspaper.

    I thought until my thinker was sore, and I still can't figure out what 3 o'clock friends are.

    I believe that those are the friends with whom at 3 AM you decide, "Well, we're way beyond thinking and can hardly speak. Let's dial long distance!"

  4. Don't hurt your thinkers -- it's an insider term used to describe a group of pals I know from the leftie radio station days. We all used take a break together...at 3 o'clock! Even though none of us work there anymore (yay) we still get together to eat ice cream and gossip (usually at 3 clock, but yesterday it was at 11 am but we still call it "a 3 o'clock") Mystery solved!
