A Day Without a Woman, coming soon.

They understand that the jokes write themselves, don't they?

Some of those aborted fetuses have been on strike more than forty years now.

Some years back, they had a "Day Without a Mexican" to demonstrate how essential Mexican buyers - mostly illegals - were to the local retail economy.

The next day, one of the local TV stations sent out a reporter to ask some store managers if sales were down. One of the responses was priceless:

"Sales drop? Not so you'd notice. But shoplifting dropped by 30%."

Not the answer they were looking for.

What's funny about these "day without an 'X' " race/gender/whatever things is that pretty much the only people that will participate are the unemployed, students, and people with jobs where it's really easy to take a day off, hence non-critical services for most people.

You really wanna have an impact? How about a "day without a plumber?". What are plumbers, maybe 2% of the population (SWAG)? Way less than any of these other groups, but I guarantee, if plumbers could take off without getting fired for not showing up to work, you'd notice.

Wow, what a great concept, we need a day without nurses, of course it is possible you will need a day with increased morticians for a few days after that.

I was going to say a week without janitors, but then I thought "Well, no one is going to clean up after themselves and the poor janitors will come back and be screwed."

I think it would be the same deal with the trash collectors. Yes, the rest of the population would have to suffer the week of trash, but then the trash collectors would have twice as much work the next week while the rest of the population forgot the lesson they were supposed to learn.

Every day around here, except every other Thursday when the Cleaning Lady comes, is a "Day Without a Woman".   So sorry, you are not missed.

Family Mtnbkr and I had dinner on Hispanic strike day.

At a Mexican restaurant.

I felt so gringo...

I think it would take more than week for trash collectors to not be noticed.  A couple weeks would be noticed more.

For janitors, it would depend on the office.  However, the lady that cleans our office is helping her daughter raise 4 kids.  She couldn't take a week without pay.
