Things you wish you never knew

Every Thursday is ‘report day’ at my work and there are about 20 of us responsible for emailing our “report” to the whole company. Over time we have taken this requirement and jazzed it up to include the silly, but cute, smiley faces, holiday wishes, etc. just to keep the report from being so boring. Well today, one of the jazzed up email reports included a note about it being "No Socks Day" today.

Bet you didn’t know that there was such a thing… or even why there is such a day…well, it turns out there really is such a thing...


No Socks Day

When: Always on May 8th

No Socks Day is a day to free your toes of the confines of socks and stocking. Give those toes of yours a breath of fresh air. The creators of this day also profess that No Socks Day will reduce your laundry load, and therefore, is healthy for the environment.

It's easy to participate in No Socks Day. Just leave your socks and stocking off, and let your toes enjoy a moment in the sun!

Note: While washing your feet prior to participating in No Socks Day is a requirement, painting your toe nails is completely optional.

Believe it or not this is a copyrighted holiday…. Really!

In fact you can see the many other who-knew-it-was-a-holiday holidays they have invented & copyrighted

The only good thing about this being brought to my attention is that now you and I are prepared to participate in the next who-knew-it-was-a-holiday holiday Eat What You Want Day on May 18, 2008. But please don’t be a fool if you are allergic to a kind of food and think this holiday gives you a pass for the day.

Then again if you’re going to do something that stupid than maybe it’s just meant to be.

Somebody please hand me a fork so I can stab myself in the eye now!
