Hey this is Hankobus,
For those of you who don't remember I wrote an entry several months back. At the time I said I'd write semi-frequently , but it turns out that I'm really lazy, so instead I just watched TV.
The reason I'm writing now is to comment on "International Womens Day." When I first heard about women's day I was intrigued (for those of you who are wondering, NO I'm not a girl!). I wondered what was expected on women's day, whether there was a men's day, and whether it was spelled womens or women's.
Sadly I soon realized that there was no mens/'s day. I also realized that womens/'s day already exists in the form of Valentines Day.
I then set myself the task of inventing mens/'s day. Here it is:
(I decided to go with the apostrophe because this day will belong to men and no woman is gonna take it away from us)
Men's Day will take place on the second Wednesday of April,
If for any reason Men's Day falls on the same day as a recognized vacation day it will be moved foward exactly one week.
There is only one rule:
On Men's Day all males have full lee-way to scratch themselves in any way they see fit while in public.
No negative comments which involve this scratching will be tolerated.
May god bless you abudantly,
his bondservant Hankobus
P.S. Maybe it's Womens's Day.
P.P.S. I know, I know, I'm a moron. Womens is NOT a word.
