Why I hate summer

Sweaty thighs sticking to plastic chairs? Miserable barbecues and forced merriment? Thanks, but I'll pass.

    Go jump in the lake

    Back when I was in the corporate world, came a time each year that the location and theme of the company summer picnic would be proposed and debated. It was always my suggestion that we rent a nice air-conditioned theatre and arrange a double feature for all the employees. We could spread out cloths and picnic gear in the lobby at intermission. Who wouldn't be happy with that, right? Seemed reasonable to me, anyway. In fact, seemed downright humane, considering August in Maryland but I could never get the votes to override the veto.
