Do they know it's Friday?

Remember in "Feed the World" when they say "Do they know it's Christmas time at all" ?...

Well, it's Friday, and that's great for me. For others, Friday is not such a big deal.

For example, hospital patients, they don't care that it's Friday. They might not even know that it's Friday. They might be aware of a shift change, the weekend staff coming in, but maybe not. Anyway, they aren't excited about it being Friday, the way I am.

Another group of people who don't care that it's Friday are, like, starving children in Africa. Yes, the "Feed the World" people - do they know it's Friday? For them, today might be the day they die. And sadly, they will burn in hell, if they haven't accepted Jesus. Apparently, being born in Africa is a sin. Can that be right?

I would bet that many more people in the world don't care that it's Friday, than those who do. We should count ourselves lucky that TGIF exists in this great nation. Ironically, if it weren't for those freedom-hating liberal unions here in America, we wouldn't have a five-day work week either.

So, listen up, Mr. Vast Right-Wing Police-State Conspiracy, you can take my TGIF when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. (not litearlly, of course. you just can't have it)

Untrue. Patients always know when there is a shift change. Perhaps the favored nurse will be on duty! Plus, weekends are always more quiet. Patients get more rest.

Not if they are, like, unconcious. I work at a hospital.

I worked in a hosp. for 10 years. Unconscious people KNOW when they are being treated by their favorite people. If you don't know that, you've not treated them.

This is the part that will really blow your mind:

Right now, in Africa, there's some guy in a tribe somewhere who's wondering if you know it's Mugga Tugga day, and he pities you because you'll never know the joys of this day.

prolly any patient who was concious knew exactly when Brianna was coming on shift. They prolly also pretended to still be sick, long after they were better jsut so they could still have her take care of them.

Just a guess.

@JayMcGee: That ain't no lie! Let me ask you somethin' - does SC get bombed like that on the weekend, or, to put it this way, if you post there much, how many accounts do you keep on ignore?
