Bartender: 3-day weekends for everyoone, on me

I've never been to a bar and ordered shots for everyone and said "On me!" Actually, I don't plan to do such a thing, but if they had a forum where you could request 3-day weekends for everyone, always....I would do it! (What the on-me part would, I have no idea.) I want to hug Labor, I want to send Labor Day a card and say, "Thank you! Thank you for contributing to the well-being of working adults all over the country."
I would sign it:

It amazes me what one extra day in a weekend can do for your morale! On a regular weeknight you have this lingering feeling in your stomach that you can't quite relax yet. Sure, you're done for the day but you don't give in too easily to the beckoning "R&R" because you know there are 2, 3, 4 more days left to your week. Then hello Friday (night)! Remember TGIF? That knot in your stomach goes away and you sigh a big one: Welcome Weekend, Welcome. Well, I introduce to you the extended version of the SABO (sigh a big one): the 3 day weekend. You're liberated! Not 2 days, but 3 days of leisure (even though we know at least one of those days will be filled with errands). Unfortunately, on my first SABO of the season I was sick and am still kicking it, but boy was it a relaxing weekend!

Anyone want to start a petition to whoever "they" is to get 3-day weekends??

P.S. About that Jane Austen read-through, I'm still thinking about it. But my sister has several of the Shopaholic books. They seem fun.
