866.6	Its all a con-job	MACNAS::JDOOLEY	The man they couldn't hang	`Thu Mar 07 1991 06:53`	7
	All those days were invented by the card manufacturers to increase the sale of greeting cards. Considering that it is almost impossible to convince some people that they should not expect a card on such days without being considered a meanie then you have the biggest unnecessary con-job in the history of marketing.
