International Rabbit Ears Day
On this day, September 1. A.D. 909, William of Tecolia made the first recorded Rabbit Ears. He and a band of Black Irish Gypsies were exploring a cave in what is today called Southern France, when they heard a small army advancing into the cave and towards William and his mates.
Will got the great idea to have everyone give themselves Rabbit Ears, which made their Cave Shadows look evil and scary, thus driving off the army.
Sadly, when William and the others got to looking at each other and how silly they were, they laughed so hard they caused a cave-in and all perished.

Today we (thankfully) don't remember the cave-in, but we do remember the Rabbit Ears. One of the "Once Funny Always Funny" jokes, Rabbit Ears are universal, and always welcome, be it around the campfire or Uncle Miltie's funeral.
