436.0. "if you could buy the world a present..." by ALFA1::DWEST (but i play one on tv...) Tue Dec 13 1994 09:36

    holiday time is here (for some of us it is gone already!) and it is
    customary to give gifts...  big ones, small ones, silly ones, stupid
    ones, cheap ones, expensive ones, it seems like eerybody, with little
    regard to thier backgrounds, has some sort of gift giving tradition
    that comes with this time of year...
    
    i hope everyone here gets everything they need and just a little 
    bit of what they want...  :^)  
    
    BUT, the real reason i am putting this note in, is to ask a question...
    
    "if you could give THE WHOLE WORLD a present-yep, everybody- what would
    you give them?"
    
    most people i know have always wanted to give more than they could...
    most people i know have always recieved things that they didn't really
    want, but later on found out they might need...
    
    if you could pick one gift, and give it to everybody, (no matter how
    silly, or profound, or whatever) what would it be???
    
    maybe we can have a little fun with this one... :^)

	i think what i would do, is give everyone a day off!!!! :^) no matter what it is that you do or who you are, you are given "a day off" to be something else... rich people overburdened with money can be poor for 24 hours... poor people can spend money for 24 hours... working people can stop working for 24 hrs... unemplyed people can have a job for 24 hours... hungry people can eat for 24 hours... gluttons can starve for 24 hours... nice people can be as@#$%es for 24 hours... a@#$%^&s have to be nice for 24 hours... Bob Palmer can be a janitor for 24 hours... the woman who empties my trash bucket at night can be CEO for 24 hours... grateful noters can note in soapbox for 24 hours... boxers must listen to Jerry for 24 hours... brief wearers must wear boxers for 24 hours (though not the ones mentioned above!!!)... boxer wearers must wear thongs for 24 hours... my boss can do my job for 24 hours... cuz i'm taking the day off! :^) da ve
