Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a holiday that was celebrated with great pomp and show. It was called "National Procrastination Day."

The holiday was celebrated on the third Monday of every month, and it was a day when people could put off all their work and responsibilities and indulge in their favorite activities. It was a day when the entire country came to a standstill as...

David hated lakes. The stilled, black water fermented bacteria and disease. It was so accessible for everyone to drink, yet drinking would mean their demise. It was only fitting that a place so repulsive would have a body float down its current.
