Kickass, the doorstop dog, joins the keeper in noting that some political pundits have opined that this day is one of the most important in American history, involving as it does efforts to instill respect for rules in a former obedience school dropout.
As a day with such historical significance, this day will obviously need a name to blend it in with other days that get circled on the calendar, such as Father’s Day which is just around the corner.
Simply calling today “Indictment Day” does not do it justice: that would be like calling Easter “Rabbit Egg Laying Day,” descriptive but missing the point.
A more celebratory term is obviously called for to mark this important historical milestone, and the keeper is suggesting “Pinocchio Day,” when celebrants would wear long false noses and greet each other by telling the truth as determined by basic decency, science and the good sense that god gave to a rock!
HAPPY PINOCCHIO DAY!
