How About 'A Day Without Lefties'?

How About 'A Day Without Lefties'?
self




Was listening to our local favorite talk radio station, WMAL630am/WMAL105.9fm this morning and syndicated and local host Chris Plante came up with a brilliant idea. [The Chris Plante Show]  http://www.wmal.com/

Coming on the heels of the 'famed' Day Without Hispanics or Day Without Immigrants, comes 'A Day Without Women'.

This week’s planned protest about,…uh, what is it about?  Nobody knows, but it is disrupting virtually every household.  One only gets so many ‘sick’ days, and one of the parents must use this so that the teachers in schools going to participate, can……get another three day weekend?

So a nice retired nurse calls in a suggests that she be allowed to volunteer in place of one teacher, so that she could teach them how to say, please, thank-you, how to do math without a calculator, and how to balance a checkbook.  She conveyed her dismay that simple manners aren’t taught/learned today.

From there, the light went off in Chris’ mind and he says, “Why can’t there be a Day Without Lefties?”

For one day, everybody

•   Says “Good [morning, afternoon, evening]”
•   …with eye contact
•   Says please and thank you, with eye contact.
•   Holds the door open for somebody.
•   Doesn’t cut somebody off coming up in a merging lane…just because you can.

•   Gives a friend a hug

Chris pointed out that a typical classroom with 30 students means 30 parents possibly missing a day's work...essentially paying for somebody else' need for another 3 day weekend. 

But overall, rudeness prevails 'out there'.

Technology today is having a  negative behavioral effect on all so-called 'civilized' societies.

Kids converse in staccato, abrupt exchanges.   They can't fry an egg, but they sure as hell can save the [Princess-Castle-Empire] on their X-Box.

A day without lefties? Hey, I'm left-handed! (The only thing I can do right-handed is play a guitar . . . )

Let's all hope that is the only ways you swing.

I swing with a guitar in my hands and a rhythm section beside me.

Some school districts are shutting down in celebration/protest/suppression/resolution or something of women.  Nobody seems to really know - apparently it doesn't matter.

But I would personally like to celebrate the closing of public schools.
