Martin Luther King Day is our favorite holiday here in the office. Partly because it celebrates one of history’s greatest activists and one of America’s greatest heroes, but also because it allows us to drink for an entire extra day without consequence. A quick poll of the office and all surrounding service industry workers shows that this holiday is universally received as “sweet” for those two reasons alone, but that wasn’t enough for Dr. King.
No, he had to teach us lessons about life on his holiday as well. That’s why today we’re all going to learn a little lesson about the government’s stance on cockfighting, and why it constitutes grounds for a dishonorable discharge.
On the upside you’ll have lots of experience which will help you find a new career in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans, engaging in the sort of quasi legal shit that now passes for an economy down there.
Congratulations on Your Dishonorable Discharge!

it's a good thing america has a history of slavery and racial intolerance, otherwise this holiday wouldn't exist and that would be a shame
True. But every nation has that, even the inappropriately named "Montenegro," which I still find offensive in general terms. At least we've generated people who give us optional holidays that inspire hastily written short stories, the ice luge and the author John Gardner. Can any other non-Scandanavian country truly make these claims?
