Life Day 23574: Thomas Crapper Day

January 27, 2012 on 12:45 pm | In Homefront |

Good morning. Today is Thomas Crapper Day. I know, you ask: “Who is Thomas Crapper, and why does he have his own Day”? This link will explain it all. Basically, he popularized and improved the flush toilet. Since his actual date of birth is unknown, Thomas Crapper Day is celebrated on the anniversary of his death in 1910. Enough of this ‘crap’. Let me get on with the rest of today’s “holidays”.
On a much darker note, today is also Holocaust Memorial Day. We should never forget how and why the Holocaust occurred.
To lighten things up again, in addition, it is Punch the Clock Day. I would like to go on record as saying that I am against any form of chronometer abuse, which is destructive and can be painful. However, I think that this “holiday” refers to the old time clock at work. The reasons why anyone would want to celebrate ‘time clocks’ eludes me, but if you are so inclined, today is the day to do so.
Finally, I will end this on a ’sweet note’ with a day one can really ’sink their teeth into’. Today is Chocolate Cake Day. Now this is a day worthy of celebration, and I intend to do just that.
