Maybe he's thinking of something like this: (not tested with bash, but
should work)

#!/bin/sh

DATE=`date`

for i in ${DATE}; do
    case ${i} in
      Mon) echo "It's Monday" ;;
      Tue) echo "It's Tuesday" ;;
      PST) echo "Pacific Standard Time" ;;
      PDT) echo "Daylight savings in effect" ;;
    esac 
done
