Happy Columbus Day!

[GROUCHO MARX]

October 12th was the original Columbus Day. Now it's just the tag for a long weekend.

And the real Oktoberfest is in September.

And you=know=who wasn't born in December either, but....
so what?
And why no Leif Erikson day, anyway?

 

[Jeffrey]

Leif Erikson? No.

We should go with Columbus' rival and have a Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) day. He staked England's claim.

An interesting note on Columbus is, he is thought to be alcoholic. When he left he didn't know where he was going, when he got there he didn't know where he was, when he got home he didn't know where he'd been, and he had a woman pay for the whole thing!!
