oil on canvas, 2007December 18th is traditionally Wear a Plunger On Your Head Day, a day that ex-bounty hunter Vern Halsey and his beloved Komodo Dragon, Felix, continue to celebrate almost entirely by themselves.
I've looked high and low, and while I've found several sources of documentation confirming this holiday's existence, nowhere have I found any explanation—and I'd settle for an implausible one—for said existence.
Nonetheless, there really is something inherently funny about plungers, something that goes beyond pure potty humor, something about their clumsy shape and vaguely onomatopoetic appellation, coupled with the lack of romance to be found in their one true function.
For all the unsavory qualities of their calling, there is something friendly or at least nonthreatening enough about a plunger that some ninny out there would not only suction one of those terra cotta hued babies to his noggin, but declare a day of solidarity with all other such ninnies.

Unbelievable Adam! These are the best promos!! Where do you find these ideas?! Thanks for always making me smile!

This raises the uneasy question, "Do I own a plunger?" and "What happens if I need a plunger for other use other than wearing on my head?" ... I am hardware store bound...
Happy Wear a Plunger On Your Head Day! I'm glad to see others, well, maybe not celebrate it, but at least recognize it!
