National Pink Day

National Pink Day offers a great opportunity for anybody to wear pink! Any of the colors between purple and red, of medium to high brightness, and of low to moderate saturation can be classified as pink. Pink is commonly used during other holidays, such as Valentine’s Day and Easter. Pink is often called “the color of love.” Pink flamingos, pink iguanas, pigs, and pink dolphins are just some of the animals that have pink coloring. If you missed National Martini Day, go out and have a pink martini! Watch the classic movies Pretty in Pink (1986) or Pink Cadillac (1989).

Once there were these three guys all looking for a place to stay for the night. They all saw a pink house. The first guy walked up to this pink house that had a pink driveway. He walked up the pink driveway, knocked on the pink door, and what do you know, a pink lady answered. The man asked this pink lady if he could stay the night, and she said yes. He walked into the pink house, walked up the pink staircase, walked down the pink hallway, walked into the pink room, set his things down on the pink floor, and went to sleep on the pink bed. The next man decided to stay here too. He walked up the pink driveway, knocked on the pink door, talked to the pink lady, walked up the pink staircase, walked down the pink hallway, walked into another pink room, set his things down on the pink floor, lay down on the pink bed, and went to sleep. The third man decided to do the same thing. So, he walked up the pink driveway, knocked on the pink door, talked to the pink lady, walked up the pink staircase, walked down the pink hallway, walked into the (guess what color) PINK room, lay down on the pink bed, and went to sleep. The next day, the first man got out of bed, walked down the pink hallway, walked down the pink staircase, and walked into the pink kitchen for breakfast. The second man got out of bed, walked down the pink hallway, walked down the pink staircase, and walked into the pink kitchen for breakfast. The third man got out of bed, walked down the pink hallway, walked down the pink staircase, and walked into the pink kitchen for breakfast. The pink lady then asked them, “What would you nice gentlemen like for breakfast? I have Cheerios and Fruit Loops.” The first man, after thinking long and hard about it, said, “I think I’m gonna have Cheerios.” The second man, after thinking long and hard about it, said, “I think I’ll have the same.” The third man, after thinking long and hard about it, politely answered, “I would like some Fruit Loops if it’s not too much trouble, please.” The moral of the story is: The ratio of men liking Cheerios to Fruit Loops is 2:1.
