In honor of Lixy's noting the significance of the ordinary worker in the "Secretary's Day" thread ...

I hereby declare today ...

LACKY, GOPHER DAY


So if you have ... or if you are ... or if you know a LACKY, GOPHER ...

we suggest a pet, pinch, hug or kiss for them (if you know them well enough ) or, if you don't, buy them one of those blank cards (Hallmark doesn't yet recognize LACKY, GOPHER DAY) in which you can write-in an appropriate message ... like ...

ROSES ARE RED
VIOLETS ARE BLUE
WHEN IT COMES TO LACKY, GOPHERS,
THERE'S NO ONE LIKE YOU!


HAPPY LACKY, GOPHER DAY!

We now return to our regular programming.
