New Proposal: Pie Savings Time

Last night someone mentioned something about daylight savings time. It was something along the lines of, "I think were putting the clocks ahead an hour, so we'll get an extra hour of sunlight." To which someone responded, "I'd rather get an extra hour of sleep." To which I replied, "I'd rather get an extra hour of pie."

Now, here is my proposal. One day a year, every man, woman, and child in America will get one free hour of pie. It will be at 4:00 PM on the third monday of July. Although it will last only 1 hour, it will be considered a national holliday, and everyone will be allowed to leave work, even 7-11s will be closed that hour. You will then report to where ever your local polling station is. From here you will be treated to all the pie you care to eat. All kinds of pie... blueberry, cherry, apple, peach cobbler, rubarb, french silk, pumpkin... whatever your little heart desires. And its all on Uncle Sam's pocket book. This will not be as expensive as people think, it will be run by volunteers, much like voting. The government will ask its American citizens to donate as many pies as they possibally can. Whatever extra is required the government will pay for. All-in-all the whole thing might cost the federal government a couple million dollars. However, just think of the good will all that pie could create.

He we have a wonderful, non-threatening, non-partisan issue that I think the entire nation can get behind. We Need A Pie Savings Hour! If you don't want to do it for yourself, please think of our children, and their children, and thier children's children. Do you want them to have to live in a world without one hour of free pie per year?... I know I don't.
