It's the Happiest Day of the Year

Seattlest, as you know, has long been an advocate of playing hooky on Friday. Today, if you're looking for an excuse to cut out early, just tell your boss you can't bear to sit in the office any longer on the Happiest Day of the Year. How did "they" figure out that today is the happiest? A simple math formula, of course: "According to the research this has been worked out using the equation O + (N xS) + Cpm/T + He." Naturally, divide the Cpm by T.

Ways we suggest you celebrate:

*Make yourself laugh. It would be funny to just go sit in a park somewhere by yourself and start laughing. Eventually, people will start laughing along with you.

*Go to Agua Verde and have a drink. Or anywhere that makes you happy.

*Play with children or animals. They're always happy, and if you're having trouble getting in the happy mood, surely they'll get you there quicker than if you avoid them.

Also today: Take Your Dog to Work Day, and the Longest Day of the Year. That's quite a vortex of fun, if you ask us.
