The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.
Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentablething, that of the skin of an innocent lamb shouldbe made parchment? that parchment, being scribbledo'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings:but I say, 'tis the bee's wax; for I did but sealonce to a thing, and I was never mine own mansince. How now! who's there?Enter some, bringing forward the Clerk of Chatham
Enter some, bringing forward the Clerk of Chatham
The clerk of Chatham: he can write and read andcast accompt.
O monstrous!
We took him setting of boys' copies.
Here's a villain!
Has a book in his pocket with red letters in't.
Nay, then, he is a conjurer.
Nay, he can make obligations, and write court-hand.
I am sorry for't: the man is a proper man, of minehonour; unless I find him guilty, he shall not die.Come hither, sirrah, I must examine thee: what is thy name?
Emmanuel.
They use to write it on the top of letters: 'twillgo hard with you.
Let me alone. Dost thou use to write thy name? orhast thou a mark to thyself, like an honestplain-dealing man?
Sir, I thank God, I have been so well brought upthat I can write my name.
He hath confessed: away with him! he's a villainand a traitor.

IDK, but I'll take the day off!!! There is no irony. It's a national holiday that celebrates the battles common laborers fought to gain basic job rights and safety standards. I understand what the day celebrates. The name is "Labor Day" on a day in which no labor is done. That is the definition of irony. If they called it Laborers Day, it would be less ironic. But again, I'm not arguing the significance of the day. Just think the name is funny.....

Labor was chosen because Laborers back in the late 19th century referred to a specific (thought off) lower class of people. Using labor was just a way of making it all inclusive towards the entire working class of the nation.And if you really want the irony of the day, it isn't in the name.It is that the modern common laborers are the ones that have to work on labor day, while government and blue-collar businesses like this one are the people that get the luxury of a day off.

Well, I'm an automobile mechanic. I, and all my other "modern common laborer" friends (plumbers, electricians, other mechanics, couple carpenters, and a few roofers) all got the day off too. We would be considered blue-collar workers. Workers at a company like D3 would be considered white-collar workers.

Glad you guys got the day off, plenty of others still have to work (both collars) still have to work though.Point being, it's not a totally laborless holiday.
