I missed my chance to wish you a happy Mad Hatter Day yesterday.

Your world is crazier than you think:

We travel around by taking the juice from hundred-million-year-old rotten dinosaur food and exploding it in a metal can.

A “sports fanatic” is not someone who participates in sports, but someone who sits indoors on a beautiful day, drinking beer while

yelling at the picture on a little box. (Throw the ultimate football party: Forget the TV; just sit around eating and drinking with

friends.)

As much as we say we like to “get away from it all”, the more successful we are, the more we take it all with us when we go. (Take a

vacation with all the comforts of home: Just stay home!)

We’re so well-fed that we’re getting food with intentionally reduced nutritional content–so we can take the trouble to eat without

getting the benefit of doing so. (Enjoy the ultimate in fast-diet-food: Skip lunch.)

We’ve saved so much gift-giving for the Christmas season that it has entirely unbalanced the flow of cash and consumer goods

through the year. So merchants decided to start the season early to have something to do the rest of the year. (There’s now only one

major gift-giving holiday — but it lasts for five months. Surprise someone with a MadHatterDay present.)

…and it goes. Take a look around you, drop your assumptions about what must be proper and normal, and see how much of it is just silly.

Better yet, try to find something that does make sense.
