Today is National Simplicity Day. I don't know why that doesn't apply to the house insurance policy update I have received. The policy no longer covers damage caused by candle wax on tables unless there are flames. So if I see candle wax dripping onto the dining table I should quickly set fire to it or I can't claim from the insurers. This of course will make the damage worse.

Further to Jeff's explanation:
The first line has to contain a person's name. They are meant to be funny but are usually silly. Here is an example:
Sir Christopher Wren Said, "I'm going to dine with some men. If anyone calls, Say I'm designing St Paul's."

Voy, thanks but it is definitely silly.
Now today is National Nude Day in the USA. Can we have reports of sightings?

Here's one for Scrubb. It is National Give Something away Day. Perfect! Yesterday when a guy bought my parents' old coffee table, I threw in a packet of printing labels for free! (Today I gave away a bunch of stuff to various charities, but today wasn't national give something away day.)

Unfortunately today is National Tattoo Day. We have a tattoo parlour about 50 metres away down our street. Particularly on Saturday morning when I go to fetch the newspaper at 7.45 there is an untidy queue (yes, queue) of people waiting for the tattooist to arrive. They look a shifty lot, avoiding eye contact, not saying good morning.

It is Threading the Needle Day.
That sounds a bit feeble. It is also Hire a Veteran Day. So, ladies, I am up for hire. My daily rate is not expensive.

Haha, Baz! How long does it take you to thread a needle?

Post by Baz Faz on Jul 25, 2018 19:14:45 GMT 2
It takes about 12 or maybe 13 seconds to persuade Mrs Faz to do it for me.

Mrs Faz. Please teleport yourself here right now.... no point in sending Baz - I need someone to thread a needle right now as a wardrobe malfunction is imminent.
See you soon.
