This weekend, I read a magazine article which said that the average American had almost four weeks vacation. I found this rather astonishing. I've been working at a Fortune 500 company for nine years and I won't get a fourth week's vacation until 2008. I'm sure those most of those poor souls who toil at McDonald's or Wal-Mart don't get anywhere near four weeks. But I think I figured out a reason for this inflated statistic. They must've counted Congress, since they got a modest 37 1/2 weeks of vacation this year.
Then again, given some of the monstrosities the Republican controlled body imposes on us when they are in session, maybe we should make them take 52 weeks.
