My pay stub informed me that May is National Direct Deposit month. Who decides this? Congress? Larry King? The pope? The mob? Wikipedia?
Actually, yes! Sort of. Wikipedia declares a long list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commemorative_months
May is National Fitness Month, National Correct Posture Month, and National Foot Health Month, all of which are outstanding and tidy together. There are some conflicts, like being both National Hamburger Month and National Salad Month (which also seems to fly in the face of National High Blood Pressure Month). Those who worked so hard to make it National Bike Month were surely none too pleased when it became National Mine Month. With great efficiency those planning the celebration of Older Americans Month can team up with the Arthritis Month steering committee and sponsor reeeeealy slow relay races. Although one day is yielded to mothers, make no mistake that it's the Month of Man.
Alas, Direct Deposit Month is not listed. I'm wondering if it's a sham concocted by the IRS to save a few stamps on tax refunds (or by the Postal Service to reduce back-breaking workman's comp claims).
Heads up: National Tickling Month is in July...
