Fat Tuesday’s Comin!

I had lunch at a restaurant near the church today and they had little brightly colored signs advertising:

August 17th, 2010 – Halfway to MARDI GRAS!

The additional brightly colored chalk-written Mardi Gras drink specials revealed their aim. Drink up! Lent’s only 6 months away!

Y’all?

It just seemed loopy.

(BTW, I checked, they were wrong. Fat Tuesday was six months ago.)
