I feel very confident that if you memorize this page you will be able to find a bathroom anywhere in Europe. You have no idea how relieved I am - and you have no idea how you will thank me when you need to be relieved. Nuff said.
The money's in your accounts.
Happy Boxing Day,

Does anyone know what "boxing day" celebrates? $50 to the first one to get it right...
According to the World Book Encyclopedia, "the traditional celebration of Boxing Day included giving money and other gifts to charitable institutions, needy individuals, and people in service jobs." Typically, people give presents to postal workers or spend the day volunteering.
The World Book Encyclopedia also states that although the holiday may date from the Middle Ages (A.D. 400s - 1500s), the exact origin is unknown. A number of theories attempt to explain how the day came to be, all centering around the idea of boxes and giving to the less fortunate
Well, I guess there's no arguing with the World Book Encyclopedia. I would add on, however, to the of my knowledge it is celebrated in England, though it may be celebrated throughout Europe.
Alright, Tommy gets the cash....Bo does get $25 because I think he added important info.
My understanding (which dosen't come from the world book encyclopedia) is that Boxing Day is primarily celebrated in England and is a day when people all over the country fill boxes with gifts for the needy. Hence, the name Boxing Day.
I'll put the money in your accounts today.
