OPEN POST: The Origin Of "Hump Day!"

By


Did you know? The term "Hump Day" originally referred to a camel's hump, which was supposed to represent the highest peak of the week before the weekend. Yet beware, as office managers nationwide have warned:

It's better to use the more neutral term, 'Happy Wednesday,' or even just 'Wednesday.'" Or, like the two Army coworkers above, you can merely give a gentle pat or two, but only if invited to do so. You may simultaneously exclaim "Hump!" if so moved. Please make a note of this.

Take 2 slices of Wonder Bread, spread them both with thick smears of Jif (for my taste, a typical PBJ should utilize about a quarter of a jar) and add sliced banana to one piece: Then add some crisp, possibly-purloined bacon to the other slice: Then smash one slice against the other and inhale deeply. Not gonna lie, this was fan-friggin'-TASTIC! I made two and enjoyed the hell out of them. Some versions of the Elvis Special call for the sandwich to be grilled, but that just sounds unhealthy to me.  And (lest you think the bacon/peanut butter combo is unprec...
