Anyway it seems plenty of people are confused about what the holidays are for. memorial Day is about remembering people who have died, particularly the people who died in line of combat in the military.

Veterans Day is the day we're supposed to thank a veteran.

Labor Day, I still don't know what that one's about, something about honoring everyone who has to work all the time? Labor?. So we get a day off. I guess.

Labor Day was supposed to be a celebration of the organized labor that got most of our worker's rights, but now it's just a celebration of day drinking and an excuse to offload the excess stock from Memorial Day and Independence Day.

Shoot, my mom told me Labor day was a second mother's day, to thank her for pushing my 9.5lb body out of her poor vagina.
