And one more thing.

From "Duck Soup."

Minister of Labor:
The Department of Labor wishes to report that the workers of Freedonia are demanding shorter hours.
Firefly(Groucho):
Very well, we'll give them shorter hours. We'll start by cutting their lunch hour to twenty minutes.

The above is a prelude to something I've heard approximately 97 times just today. This week is not a short week. This week has seven days. What we are having is a short work-week.

Stop it. OK?
