Why is Friday so close to Monday but Monday is so far away from Friday

[raq]

here is the funny comment to the above query i copied from one commenter

Because Friday and Monday are married. Friday may bring home the money but Monday makes all the decisions for the rest of the week, Thats why Monday is so unpopular. It wakes people up early and makes them go out to perform work or things close to it. Friday is popular cause it only last for a day. It usually ends on a positive note and leads to what usually is a time of rest or play.Still with all that which makes them different they have been married for a very very long time. And I think it is a pretty stable marriage which isnot going to end anytime soon.still wondering wether this will be the similar in the new world..hope week-days wil account to seven and week-ends to three to have 10days counting to a week..enjoy this!
