Bible Bill!
As we approach President's Day, MYL continues its Canadian Mondays series with a note about William S. "Bible Bill" Aberhart, a Prime Minister wannabe during the great depression who champined paying $25 (Canadian dollars) per month to citizens as "Social Credit" -- the idea being that the rebate checks would spur purchases and help alleviate the tight credit situation of the day.
Sound familar? So does Monz' lunch (Leno's for an office-wide lunch where Monz had a 10" veggie sub, no onions and extra jalapenos), but here's something unusual: despite being "damn good!" Monz couldn't finish it!
