Absurdity Day



Today, November 20th, is Absurdity Day. Time to let go of logic and reason for 24 hours and see how much more fun it is to revel in nonsense.

We spend so much time trying to comprehend things that by the end of the day our brains practically need a massage. Why not embrace absurdity for once? Wear a weird hat on your elbow, host a dinner party with food-shaped stress balls on everybody's plate instead of real food (then give them plenty of chocolate as consolation afterward), walk a lobster around on the street. Read your book upside down on the bus home. Stop making sense!

[Or maybe every other day is secretly Absurdity Day, and today is the only time real life isn't absurd? Quick, someone check the calendar!]
