Going Up

I live for Thursdays. Most people live for Friday, but since I don't work there has to be a day that brings the giddiness of an upcoming weekend. So what happens on Thursdays? Publix puts out a new sale flyer for the upcoming week for one thing, they start their sales on Thursdays, I like that. One of my favorite columnists puts out a new piece, I like him and I like knowing he'll be there every Thursday and even if he's on vacation, they will run an old piece. Another web site posts all new crap on Thursdays. So Thursdays are basically pretty exciting for me, especially since I don't remember any of this stuff until about 5 pm on Thursdays. Then I get happy, happy that the things that matter to me are all new on Thursdays, it beats the hell out of the regular news.

And here's a nice little Thursday joke:

A businessman got on an elevator in a building. When he entered the elevator, there was a blond already inside and she greeted him by saying, "T-G-I-F" (letters only).

He smiled at her and replied, "S-H-I-T" (letters only).

She looked at him, puzzled, and said, "T-G-I-F" again.

He acknowledged her remark again by answering, "S-H-I-T."

The blond was trying to be friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile and said as sweetly as possibly "T-G-I-F" another time.

The man smiled back to her and once again replied with a quizzical expression, "S-H-I-T."

The blond finally decided to explain things, and this time she said, "T-G-I-F, Thank Goodness It's Friday, get it?"

The man answered, "Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday."
