Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 20, 2017

But it celebrates President Trump too, right?

My wife thinks the same about me . She calls me a fountain of useless information

You’re wrong they tell me! You’re wrong! Then I show them Arlo! And I’m right again!

“You know more sh*t that don’t make you any money than anybody I know/”

— a Robert B. Parker ‘Spenser’ novel

Or if her parents could have known there would be Google and Wikipedia.

When the gov originally instituted Presidents’s Day, they claimed it was to make one holiday of both Washington and Lincoln’s February birthdays and to put it on Monday.

I bet Arlo’s a champ at Trivial Pursuit; like me.

A bit of a snarky response there, Janis.

To: Herrweh Good one, I added it to my “sayings” list. Here’s one back for payment:“Your right to an opinion does not obligate me to take you seriously”.

Unknown facts….

When I actually worked for a living, I really didn’t care who’s birthday it was just as long as I got the 3 days off. Now, all I have is time to think about all I have forgotten and still be a fount of wisdom when I discuss politics with my wife. She agrees just to shut me up.
