Lazy Day

 I found out this was National Lazy Day

    I was as lazy as I could be today.

    Yes, I did 3 loads of laundry and straightened  the pantry, but I also took a short nap outside.

    I got bit by a fly, and swatted another fly, and discovered after my nap that the chair was a bit damp.

    I wonder who decided and why. there is a lazy day.  And should it be capitalized, like Mother's Day or Fourth of July?

    I imagine some guy working in an ad office someplace didn't want to work on this date, so he told his boss, hey, it's National Lazy Day.

    The boss, being an idiot, gave the entire office staff permission to not work.

    I know there are a lot special days, and I have a few I would like to see started.

    Feed A Raccoon Day.  This would be every May 13 and would involve throwing bread balls at local raccoons.  As an alternative to bread balls, stale pizza crust would work.

    Blow a Bubble Day.  June 11 would be the day for everyone in the world to chew bubble gun and at 1:28 their time, stand on a street corner and blow a big bubble.  

    Pet a Cow Day.  This is for city slickers.  They need to drive to the country on Aug. 8 and pet a cow.  This will connect them to the food supply so they can see where their hamburger. steak, and milk come from.  It will also teach city slickers the difference between a huge bull and a cow.

    Kill a  Fly Week.  This would be an entire week, April 21 - 28 with the idea that every day everyone would kill at least 1 fly.  By doing this, we will greatly reduce the fly population that will bother us in the summer.

    Read Labels Carefully Day.  This would actually be a year round day, where people are encouraged to read the labels on the products they buy so they don't buy sugar feee root beer instead of regular root beer because sugar fee has an aftertaste.

    Shave Your Face Day.  June 12 would be a day when all men shave their beards and mustaches off in an effort to get the bubble gum off their faces.

    National Cumquat Day.  Sept. 18 would be t he day to celebrate cumquats.  I just like saying cumquat.

    Everyday Day.  An ongoing campaign to encourage people to read blogs and like them.

    With that, I am calling it a day.

    If I wasn't being lazy, I get something to kill the aftertaste in my mouth.

Peace and Love
