Os the 121 days there are 52 Sundays, which loaves sixty-nine days. Then I give you a half holiday each Saturday or 26 days, which leaves 43 days. You spend an hour and a half each day for lunch, or a total of 28 days, which leaves ID days. Each year I give you a vacation of two weeks, or 14 days, which leaves only one day. The day left is the Fourth of July, and you wouldn’t work anyway. Go there you are. Ask me for a raise?. GET OUT!”
