continuing education feature dentally incorrect feature OFF-THE-WALL July Holidays Looking at the calendar, it's hard to miss July 4. Commonly referred to simply as, "The Fourth," this great holiday is celebrated today much as it was 200 years ago: parades, get-togethers and artery-clogging meals ﬁt for people who don't need the King's approval for nothin'. However, hiding behind the ﬁrework smokescreen of such a momentous holiday are some lesser-known occasions that deserve a spotlight, or at least a laugh. National Unassisted Home Birth Week: July 1 to July 7 Because women are strong, independent and don't need modern medicine. Doctors are overrated, right ... doc? Be Nice to New Jersey Week: July 5 to July 11 Established in 1984, this pipe-dream holiday has never been celebrated successfully. Not once. Sorry we're not sorry, Jersey! Don't Step on a Bee Day: July 11 Wasps can get stomped, though. No one likes those. Bald is in Day: July 11 If you're Howard Farran, bald is in every day! Free Slurpee Day: July 11 Heralded as the most anticipated day of the year according to someone, 7-Eleven will give out free small Slurpees to customers with nothing better to do with their Saturday* *Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Check your local 7-Eleven for details. Shark Awareness Day: July 14 There's going to be a Jaws marathon on cable, guaranteed. Restless Leg Syndrome Education and Awareness Week: July 18 to July 22 We're so excited for this we can't keep still. World Lumberjack Championships: July 23 to July 25 According to data made up for the purpose of this joke, three people attended this event last year. All kidding aside, we're sure it's a pine competition. Take Your Houseplant for a Walk Day: July 27 Do this and your neighbors will leaf you alone the rest of the year. ■ FREE FACTS, circle 44 on card 152 JULY 2015 // dentaltown.com Legal mumbo jumbo: This page is not meant to be taken seriously.
