Yes, my son...
How did Memorial Day start?
Freed slaves thanking Union troops for their sacrifice... at the racetrack in Charleston, South Carolina in 1865.
When did it become about a sale at Sit & Sleep?
Where have you been?
I've been doin' stuff...
What are you drinking?
Gin and tonic... want one?
Oy... you have a nice summer, ok?
(More on the origins of Memorial Day here & here)
