Sorry Charlie

It is SORRY, CHARLIE DAY &

PLAN YOUR EPITAPH DAY

also it is Ladies Revenge for Dingus Day Day

Sorry, Charlie Day? Really? Do we really need a day to help us recall being rejected or rejecting someone? Please....Now this Plan Your Epitaph Day. At first I thought. Um, Ewww. The more I thought the more into it I became. I tried to write mine...Not happy with the results. I got my name and dates of birth and death (7/19/2085-ya gotta think positive). So, each day, I will try and get another day closer to what may be written on my headstone...whatever that may be...

Continued from yesterday....Today ladies, you get your revenge on those nasty little boys who splattered you with water or smacked your legs with pussy willow swatches yesterday. Grab your cheapest, heaviest piece of crockery and fling it at him! I think we get the better end of the stick.
