Story I heard of two junior execs -- possibly from NY -- on a manly-man fishing trip up in Alaska during the time of year when the sun might dip below the horizon, but it never really gets dark.
One of them asks the guide what the people do with themselves when the days are so long -- what do they do with all that sunlight... ?
The guide answers: "No problem. In the summertime, we just go to 36-hour days."
The two execs shrug and nod to each other... "Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense."
