Then rainy Mondays must be the worst! Especially if you argue with someone who's playing you like a song.
This comic was inspired by a rainy Monday, and the fact that I think I hear snippets of this song on the radio more on rainy Mondays than any other time. And that's silly.
To explain what's going on in the Venn diagram, the intersection of Rainy Days and Mondays are Rainy Mondays. However, Karen Carpenter quite clearly sings that "rainy days and Mondays always get me down" not that "rainy Mondays get me down". That means if it's a "rainy day", it gets her down, and if it's a "Monday", it gets her down. It could be one OR the other, OR it could be both. (Indeed, once you have one, you don't need to check the other because the condition has been fulfilled.)
So was Ms. Carpenter NOT down on Not Rainy days that were other days of the week?
We actually don't know that. We only know that either of these two conditions got her down. That's not to say that there aren't other conditions that would've gotten her down which did not fit into the lyrics of the song. However, it is safe to say that she might have had a bummer of sunny Thursday.
What gets me down is that I didn't get this comic up on Monday. And the amount of time between comics, of course.
Final question: Did you think from the title that this was going to be a gravity joke? Just wondering.
