Hug People While You're on Fire Day

rdfs:comment

This jubilant day was inspired by the unusual events of November 17, 1944. Young upstart Smokey the Bear, while attempting to raise campaign money at the Republican National Convention, tripped over a fallen potato and toppled into a large vat of smuggled gasoline. Dripping wet but unfazed, Smokey reemerged and continued to meet his many fans. Unfortunately, when one of his older, cigar-smoking brethren gave him a jolly hug and a pat on the rump, he let his cigar get too close to Smokey's pungent fur. Instantly Smokey went ablaze.

This jubilant day was inspired by the unusual events of November 17, 1944. Young upstart Smokey the Bear, while attempting to raise campaign money at the Republican National Convention, tripped over a fallen potato and toppled into a large vat of smuggled gasoline. Dripping wet but unfazed, Smokey reemerged and continued to meet his many fans. Unfortunately, when one of his older, cigar-smoking brethren gave him a jolly hug and a pat on the rump, he let his cigar get too close to Smokey's pungent fur. Instantly Smokey went ablaze. Chaos ensued. Poor Smokey, in his panic, thought to jump in the wettest place around - the nearest gasoline vat. Thus ended Smokey the Bear's short political career. No bear since has had the courage to attend a Republican National Convention, preferring instead to rely solely on telemarketing campaigns. An astute political photographer managed to capture a photo of Smokey hugging the moustached, bespectacled fellow just as he ignited. Fascinated, the people of America decided to dedicate the day in Smokey's memory.
