Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for October 25, 2021

Yeah the Gregorgian’s included too many of them in the calendar

But do you know?

You could skip mondays with 6 days a week with 60 weeks a year.

Garfield can relate, Ziggy.

I know! Let’s rename leap day!

As you continue to live, there are less Mondays ahead in your life.

In the future, you may appreciate more any Mondays you have left.

There’s only one a week.

If there were fewer of them.

Fewer Mondays will shorten your life span.

Okay, Garfie…er..Ziggy.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

It wouldn’t help.I was off on Mondays (worked Sundays) & it just made Tuesday my Monday.

Monday Monday

Every moment you have fewer and fewer of them left.

But then Tuesdays would be the new ‘Mondays’…

“fewer of them”

Duolingo would mark that wrong and insist that Ziggy say “fewer”

“fewer” is used for things that are counted, “less” is for things that are measured, but this has largely been forgotten.

Um, no, I don’t want to run out of Mondays, ever. Or all the days in between, either.

or… if weekends were three days long

Don’t worry Ziggy, for every monday there is a Saturday and a Sunday.

He said weakly

Fewer

Amen!

There’s only one cure for a case of the Mondays: Tuesday.

When you retire, every day is Saturday or Sunday, but it gives you something to work for.

“…less of them.”

Toms, did you really mean “less”, which would mean that they would be smaller, or did you mean “fewer”, which would be not as many?

Of course, some folks would prefer both.
