Thursday, or Not?

It's Thursday, and there's not a thing anyone can do about it.

While the above statement really doesn't mean anything, it reminds me of a  joke my dad always made when Thursday rolled around and someone asked, "What day is it?"

"Thursday. All day unless it rains."

My first recollection of this was when I was about three years old. Of course I had to have it explained.

Thursday, if slurred a bit, sounds like thirsty. Therefore the day will be a thirsty one unless we get some moisture.

By the calendar it's Thursday, but based on the amount of snow we have on the ground and still falling, it won't be a thirsty one for quite some time.

Egad!! So much white stuff, but with global warming I keep trying to tell myself that these winter will be precious some day.

Tabor, it could happen.

Messymimi, he did.

Your dad sounds like he was a little like my dad who would say "Thirsty? You're thirsty? How could you be thirsty when today is Friday?"

Hilary, LOL, they would have made a great two-part joke.
