According to holidayinsights.com today is Ear Muff Day:
When : Always March 13th
Ear Muff Day celebrates a warm invention...the ear muff! People in cold climates can really appreciate this day. And, they are ever so thankful to the person who created the ear muff. If you live in Florida, you might not even know what an ear muff is.
Ear muffs keep your ears warm, and protect you from ear infections and earaches resulting from icy cold wind and weather. Manufacturers have responded to their popularity with a variety of designs and colors, making one to fit almost anyone's personality.
It is really easy to celebrate Ear Muff Day.... just wear your ear muffs!
Origin of "Ear Muff Day": Big-eared Chester Greenwood is the father of the Earmuff. Greenwood patented the "Champion Ear Protector" on March 13, 1877. It later became known as "ear mufflers", and was eventually shortened to "earmuffs".
If you decide to play along, be sure to post in this thread. If there are enough celebratory avatars, we'll put together a composite for the forum photo album. ;)

So, if it was Muff Day you would've been in here why?
Oh. Wait. That's not something dirty is it? I don't want to know what it is. I made that mistake one time asking Drorain why tea bags were so funny. Haven't been right since.

I could think of some great imagery for "ear muffs" based on what balou has learned...but I really....REALLY shouldn't....

My husband thinks it is amusing instead of saying "fair enough" to say "hairy muff" instead. It was only slightly funny the first time he did it and that was about a decade ago.
