In the week before Labor Day, Eli, a poor country farmer won $480,000 in the Lottery. As a treat he took his wife and their four children to see the Labor Day parade in New York.
They booked into the Sheraton International at the corner of Park Circle and Central Park North. Having never been further than their local county seat in Arkansas, they were bowled over by the glitz and excitement of the "Big Apple".
Eli and his son Clem were especially mesmerized by a shiny box with silver walls. They had never seen anything like it before, with doors that moved apart, and then automatically came back together again. Neither had seen an elevator before. Therefore, they were amazed when a little old lady entered the shiny box and the door closed. The lights outside on the wall flashed for a minute, then the doors opened and out came a beautiful young woman.
Eli turned to Clem and said, 'Son, go get your mother.'
Labor Day is the day when, if a liberal sees his shadow, he quits working for six weeks.
Gee, here it is Labor Day again, and you know what that means. It's back to work for department store Santa Clauses.
The purpose of Labor Day is to give the working class a chance to rest before they go back to looking for a job.
