This is one super week

It’s an epic week in these United States. Hope you didn’t party too hard on Super Bowl Sunday, because you’ve only got today to recover before Super Tuesday. Here’s a look at how the two Super days compare:
Super Bowl Sunday: Happens once a year; marked by vigorous consumption of chili and beer, followed by a mysterious surge in the number of people who call in sick on Monday morning.
Super Tuesday: Happens every four years; marked by taunts of “nyah-nyah” in voting states and sullen threats to support the Green Party in places with later primaries.
Super Bowl Sunday: Received hours of TV coverage interspersed with ads involving screaming squirrels and lizards busting some moves to “Thriller.”
Super Tuesday: Will receive hours of TV coverage, likely interspersed with ads for reality shows in which people will have to eat squirrels and lizards.
Super Bowl Sunday: Determines the year’s football champion and dooms thousands of men to cleaning out the garage because they lost bets with their wives.
Super Tuesday: Plays a key role in determining which candidates will have to feign happiness for the winner at their party’s nominating convention.
