Go ahead. Scratch. It's allowed. Today is National Itch Day. And after you're done scratching that itch, go have breakfast — preferably an egg and a doughnut.

Yep, it's also National Egg Day and National Doughnut Day.

Yep, it's also National Egg Day and National Doughnut Day.

Oh, did I mention? It's also National Repeat Day.

Who comes up with this stuff? Surely not our elected officials.

(Reporters to Congressman Blowhard: "Sir, we're bogged down in a war, healthcare costs are spiraling out of control and nobody can afford to gas up at the pump anymore. What are you going to do about it?"

(Congressman Blowhard: "Sorry, folks. I've got to get over to the Capitol to declare next Wednesday National Be-Bop-a-Lula Day.")

You bet there is such a thing, coming up June 6. Mark your calendars.

What is it about June? Used to be, all we had — or so I can remember — was National Dairy Month.

Now we've got close to three dozen designations for June alone, including National Happy Women Month, National Hernia Awareness Month and, last but never least, National Accordion Awareness Month.

OK, I'll confess. It's been years since I've been aware of accordions and all the fine work they do.

We've also got something like 36 observations good for an entire week in June, including:

● National Hug Week.

● National Graffiti Week. Hmmm.

● National Bathroom Reading Week.

● National Carp Week.

● National Fragrance Week — which may explain:

● National Headache Awareness Week.

And while June may have but 30 days, more than 36 days have been declared for the month nationally.

As in:

● National I Love My Dentist Day.

● National Leave the Office Early Day.

● National Cheese Day.

● National Attitude Day.

● National Bubba Day.

● National Pig Callers Day.

● National Drive-In Movie Day.

● National June Bug Day.

● National Pop Goes the Weasel Day.

● National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day.

● National Gas Mask Birthday Day.

● National Go Fly a Kite Day.

● National Hollering Contest Day.

● National Handshake Day.

● National No Orange Clothes Day.

● National Eat Your Vegetables Day.

● National Eat an Oreo Day. (But only after you've eaten all your vegetables.)

● National Stupid Guy Thing Day.

● National Applesauce Cake Day.

● National Take Your Dog to Work Day. Not to be confused with:

● National Please Take My Children to Work Day.

● National Decide to Be Married Day. Which should wipe out:

● National Old Maid's Day.

● National Fink Day.

That last one, by the way, pays homage not to sneaks and stool pigeons, but to the town of Fink, Texas, founded by one Fred Fink, no less.

And yes, National Fink Day was indeed declared by the duly-elected Texas Legislature.
