I'm still laughing! Thanks. I used to think that was real hair too, and I wondered why they all wanted to look like old men. So true…

If getting paid without working doesn’t say “President,” I just don’t know what does!

I meant to comment earlier, but I almost broke a rib laughing and had to lay down.

"And this was in the late sixties, so I always had to picture our first president in a mini-skirt. With a kicky little hand purse."

I almost died when I read that. It's all your fault! XD

I like to celebrate Presidents' Day by talking about James K. Polk, William Henry Harrison, Chester A. Arthur, and other names that more or less solidify my title of "geek."

Like I need any help solidifying that title …

Just so you know, I was watching a movie today about President's Day (subbing at the local middle school), and they said on the movie that Washington's hair was real, and that he put powder on it to make it look like that. The only thing fake about him, the movie said, was his teeth.

And for Lincoln, we made log cabins with a penny in the window (like Lincoln was looking out). So, that is how I celebrated President's Day today.

Presidents Day to me means that the commute along the principal freeway I take to work every day will be significantly shorter.

I always got confused about the cherry tree and who really chopped it down. After all, don't we call him "Old Honest Abe"? Maybe ALL presidents had a pivotal moment in their childhoods which involved axes and cherry trees.

I worked today. My wife worked today.

President's Day was just like any other.

But the recycling didn't get picked up. Oh well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was in need of a good, roll-on-the-floor laugh. I knew if I popped over here I would get one.

Thanks!

I think the shovel thing is the reason someone invented outhouses and later indoor toilets. When people were as poor as Abe Lincoln's family, they learned to clean off the shovel for economic and intellectual purposes too. That was real frugality and thrift. I could be wrong, though.
