Some folks have started a campaign to make Sept. 11 a national holiday, so we can remember the terrible tragedy. I'm totally in support of this. In fact, if we're really serious about remembering it, I think we should take the entire month of September off. Instead of a holiday, we should have a holimonth. If we can't manage that, we should at least have a holiweek. For a full week every September, we could take a break from work to reflect on those tragic events and remember the fallen heroes. And just as we do on Memorial Day, we could perform all this reflecting and remembering while lying on our backs at the beach. Al Gore: "Hey Bill, are you doing anything on Sept. 11 to remember the tragedy?" Bill Clinton: "Yes, I'm going to the beach. There's no better place really. The splashing of water will remind me of the brave firefighters, the shark warnings will remind me of the evil terrorists, and the bikini-clad women lying on the sand will remind me of the twin towers." Yes, if Sept. 11 becomes a holiday, the beaches would be packed with people, some of them so patriotic, their thongs would be red, white and blue. If nothing else, they'd have another reason to get sunburned. Surfer dude: "Hey, your skin's peeling. Aren't you worried about getting skin cancer?" Beach bum: "No, dude. It's Sept. 11. Worse things could happen." Surfer dude: "Sept. 11? What happened on Sept. 11? I flunked history." Beach bum: "You didn't hear, dude? Three planes crashed into buildings in New York and Washington. That's why I'm living on the beach. I'm avoiding buildings." About half of Americans favor a national holiday on Sept. 11, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll. The other half don't want a holiday because that's one more day they'd have to spend with their spouses. But seriously, 48% of respondents said they want the holiday, 48% said they don't, and the remaining 4% had no opinion. The results surprised some international observers. "I'm absolutely stunned," said a Frenchman. "I didn't realize it was possible to find an American with no opinion. Are you sure those 4% weren't illegal aliens?" In my opinion, we need more than just a holiday to remember Sept. 11. We need free airline tickets, not only to help us remember the unfortunate role of commercial planes in the tragedy, but also to help us see how easily and quickly a Boeing 767 can be used to take us to Daytona Beach. To ensure that the beach-bound passengers think about Sept. 11, we may need the pilot to make a

The only person I want to flame is the moron who suggested 9/11 should be a holiday - for exactly the reasons articulated in Nish's post. To single out those who died as deserving of such an honor above and beyond our memorial day observance would be an insult to all those who died for this country by other means. What about the guys that died at Pearl Harbor, Omaha Beach, Antietam? It is like singling out Martin Luther King as the greatest American who ever lived (the only one with his own national holiday). He might have been a great guy, but he wasn't *that* great. And the deaths of 9/11 were not *that* significant. "There's a slew of slip 'twixt cup and lip"

Has somebody redefined humour because I can't find any funny stuff in here. It's not even good satire if that's what it is trying to be.

My all time favourite joke would have to be.... 3 fish were sitting in a tank, 1 turned to the other two and said "Any idea how to drive this thing??" Haha I love it, and unlike most "humo(u)r" it doesn't ofend anyone. That's why I never liked Seinfeld, all his humour came at the expense of other people....
