Some of you military types spent Labor Day by the pool, some of you were skating or shamming on duty, and at least one of you explained to someone on Facebook that Labor Day isn’t about veterans or the military.
Let the best memes of the week help you stave off any labor (for at least a few more minutes) and give you some tips for celebrating the holiday next year.
1. Don’t forget to include your pets.
“But can he reload?”
2. Remember: you can get arrested for a DUI while driving a boat.
The Coast Guard will ruin your Yacht Party.
3. Guys, be yourself when talking to the ladies.

6. Be sure to pick up some fun for the kids.

9. Every veteran has that one veteran friend.
How did she even see him?
10. Be sure you listen and heed your safety brief.
