[Ads-l] on days ending in the letter Y

[Jonathan Lighter]

Something else I've more than once lately:

1978 _Detroit Free Press_ (Jan. 5) 6-D: Gerard, who does not like to pass
on days ending with the letter "Y," went up for a jump shot and hit Douglas
for a perfect pass with a slam dunk and the crowd went wild.

1999 _Atlanta Journal_ (March 15) A13: Stray dogs will not be allowed in
the house except on days ending with the letter "Y."

2016 _USA Today_ (Oct. 25)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/10/25/trump-tramples-hallowed-ground-gettysburg-paul-brandus/92692154/
: Not that there weren’t similarities. Both men spoke on days ending in the
letter “y.”
