In honor of Daylight Savings Time, I want to share with you a really great idea. It's not as a great as a mug that entitles the bearer to free refills, but it's pretty damn great. Breathe deep and prepare to have your mind blown.
You know how every fall when Daylight Savings Time rolls around, you're kinda bummed about it getting dark earlier, but that extra hour of sleep that weekend is pretty great? And then in the spring, while you're delighted to have it stay light later in the day, losing that hour from your weekend kinda sucks? So here's my great idea: in the spring, instead of moving the clocks one hour forward, we move them twenty-three hours back. So instead of it going from 2am Sunday to 3am Sunday, it goes from 2am Sunday to 3am Saturday. Bang! Three-day weekend!
Pretty excellent idea, don't you agree?
Now there's always some killjoy who's like, "But then the calendar wouldn't match up. What you gonna do about that, genius?" Simple. We just get rid of a Tuesday. Who's gonna miss a Tuesday? So around Daylight Savings the days go like this: Friday, Saturday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and then we're right back to normal--a new normal, substantially more awesome than the one it replaced.
LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN, AMERICA. WE CAN DO THIS.
