Today, as I was writing the date on a piece of paper, I had to notice that it is February 2nd. This is a day that already boasts a lot of important holidays like World Wetlands Day, Inventor's Day in Thailand, and Groundhog Day, which is when a subterranean rodent named Phil emerges from its earthen abode to do absolutely nothing and have that decide the very weather patterns which will soon befall us, and at whose mercy we live our fragile little lives. Despite all this, I realized something about today that I never had before: it is missing a very important tradition.
Written in most month/date formats, today's date would generally be 2/2. If you forget all the associated date stuff and simply pronounce the numbers, it then becomes 2 2, or two two. This sounds phonetically identical to an article of clothing worn by ballerinas called the tutu. Therefore, it stands to reason that there be established a tradition that people start wearing tutus on February 2nd to celebrate two two with a clever play on words/numbers/dates/stuff! Yeah! Look how awesome it could be!!!
Adorable!
I can't stand it!
Splendid!
Okay sure!
Uh... well, maybe.
Wait
uh...
Oh geeze
Okay
...
After some more thought, maybe we already have enough holidays.
