Gee, put Sunday at the end instead of the beginning and you almost sound
like that Keith David song that's getting over-played on the radio now. 
Hmm...Keith David the suave pop-singing Junker...let's kick that
refrain...

"I made the gun on Monday...took it for a test on Tuesday...we were
killing mooks by Wednesday...
and on Thursday, and Friday and Sa-a-a-turday,
we still killed on Sunday."

Or let's not - lol.  Boy, the weird crap that pops into my head...
