<\/a>\"earth\"<\/em> Our webmaster overheard this conversation a couple hours ago in the <\/span><\/span>ethicalEsq <\/em>lunch room: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prof. Yabut<\/a><\/strong>: You’re picking up the tab, of course.\u00a0 It’s my special Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

skepticalEsq<\/strong><\/em>: What do you mean?\u00a0 The radio just said it’s Curse Day.\u00a0 You <\/em>shoud be treating me<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prof. Yabut<\/strong>:\u00a0 You must be deaf, old man.\u00a0\u00a0They said it’s\u00a0Irks Day,\u00a0so I’m the honoree.<\/span><\/p>\n

ethicalEsq<\/em><\/strong> [just coming out of a nap]:\u00a0 Did you say it’s Mirth Day?\u00a0 Shoot, I probably should write a Wea<\/em>kly Special!<\/span><\/p>\n

haikuEsq<\/strong>:\u00a0 Sigh.<\/em> Can’t you recall a time when we made a big deal of Earth Day?\u00a0 I hope our readers take a moment to connect with\u00a0our beautiful, fragile planet.<\/span><\/p>\n
