Today is National “Joe” Day!
That’s right… everyone can elect to be called Joe all day long or call others Joe. Since my name is Joe this is a great holiday!
Yahoo! News brought up some nice facts about the name Joe: “From 1911 to 2010, Joseph was the eighth-most popular baby boy name in the U.S., trailing behind James, John, Robert, Michael, William, David and Richard according to the Social Security Administration…The use of Joe in phrases was common in the 1930s and appeared in various expressions including “an ordinary Joe” to the reference to an enlisted man as ‘GI Joe’ according to World Wide Words.”
When I get home tonight, I’m totally putting on my “Not Your Average Joe” t-shirt!
theultimateholidaysite.com adds a little jazz: “No need for the ‘Hello My Name Is’ stickers today! Because on March 27th, everyone’s name is Joe. And if your name already was Joe’ well then we’ll just call you Thor.”
I’m sticking with Joe… and now I will go have a cup of Joe.
Today, just like any day, you can make it be whatever you want.
Cheers, Joe!
Tomorrow: National Something On a Stick Day.
