#1 Okay! What time does the strike start?!

#2 "When does the strike start?"

Exactly, the French will strike not because of the erosion of the Christian Influence but because of a lost Holiday that they will now have to work on.

What's the over/under for when the French Government folds?

2 days?

#3 You know, I'm not at all clear on how this works. It's a paid holiday. Eliminating it doesn't save a dime that I can see.

#4 Without the holiday, they get another day of work and production, with the resulting revenue, without paying any more for it. That appears to be the theory anyway.

#5 AC: This is FRANCE we're talking about. See the hole in your thesis?

#6 Why would they strike. Just because they are at work doesn't mean that they have to do anything productive. Here's an idea: complie an entire photo-album of xeros'd ass prints.
