Do the Handbook People know it? No. Would they care? Not so much.
They don't need to. They can't be made to see that their way is not the One True Ultimate Right 4Evah!!1!! way.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

If I only had a brain...
Yeah, well, the phone company is powerless nowadays, so I updated.
Remember when Woody Allen got a whole gag out of robbing the phone company and everybody applauding? Nowadays it'd be cable, I think.

I forgot it was Valentine's Day until I logged in here. (I'm taking a personal day today, which has nothing to do with Valentine's Day and everything to do with being exhausted and still having swollen, painful neck glands after 10 days of mega-dose antibiotics.)
I don't get why Valentine's Day exists, actually (except for the unholy trifecta of Hallmark/the florist cartel/DeBeers to rake in big bucks). I mean -- a day to celebrate....being a couple? Oooookay. Hooray, en-coupled people!
Makes no sense to me. (Though I will happily eat Valentine's Day chocolate. I'm no fool.)

Dave's not here, man. (Ok, so most of what I know about the 70s? Second-hand.)

It used to be you gave Valentine's to people you liked. They were like Christmas cards.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They're really cheap if you buy them after the 14th.
Also, I love the Valentine's Day cookies with the pink frosting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, you think stuff will be on sale tonight already? I am all about half-price post-holiday candy. Christmas, Halloween, V-Day, I'm not picky.

funny coincidence, Tom just took the car for windshield replacemend and was very much relieved to find out that it cost us noting with our comprehenisve insurance. Whee!
In other news, if you had leaks from the apartment above so sever that you had plastic buckets catching the water from the ceiling, would you:
a) tell the tenants above
b) tell the landlord in an urgent fashion
c) both a) and b)
or d) nothing at all whatsoever, until the leak got larger so that the first floor neighbor got the leak?
We are the people "above" in this scenario, and our downstairs neighbor chose d) out of the choices above. Argh.

And just like Christmas cards, now everyone expects one. I don't send out either anymore...it's a protest, yeah, that's the ticket.

Well, Fathers' Day came about to balance out Mothers' Day, right? I'm just waiting for Singleton/Yay!Me Day. (Where the appropriate gift to give comes from Blowfish.)
