Clever Things to Say

Presidents’ day was inaugurated in 1880 as a whole extra day for, and experienced exclusively by, the President. During this day he could spend his time as he wished in leisure or just catching up on errands without having to worry about the forward arrow of time generating events that would effect the rest of the world. Eventually, everyone became jealous of the President’s “special day” and a pandering congress passed a bill that plucked the errant time slice from out the ether and placed it squarely within the calendar year thus creating the 365th day.
