We moved the clock forward. I was wrong . . . we lost an hour of sleep last night, we didn't gain an hour. I always get that backwards. It's my dysdaylia.
OK, here's one from David Letterman:
Don't forget it's daylight saving time. You spring forward, then you fall back. It's like Robert Downey Jr. getting out of bed.
Some facts: It's daylight saving time, not daylight savings time. The latter has something to do with putting $$$ in the bank.
Daylight saving time has been around for about 100 years. Only about 70 countries observe it; Hawaii, for example, does not. Ha! (Hawaii is not a country).
Positive reasons for daylight savings are: to conserve energy and to prevent accidents. I guess there are a lot of people accidentally staying out too late at the bar.

AND finally . . . some remarkable old quotations.
"An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later." -Winston Churchill
"It seems very strange . . . that in the course of the world's history so obvious an improvement should never have been adopted. . . . The next generation of Britishers would be the better for having had this extra hour of daylight in their childhood." -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
