On June 11th is the most anticipated holiday of the year. It's called Health Day. Every June 11th, from 12am to 11:59pm, everyone has flawless health. Injuries are temporarily healed. Heart attacks are postponed. Cancer patients experience a day with no restrictions. Traditions mean doing absolutely crazy activities. Nursing homes take a fieldtrip to go skydiving. Grandparents and their grandchildren play nightgames together. The whole thing is like Make-A-Wish times three. Instead of concerning the health of patients and money to provide the wishes they desire, there will be no money restraints. Health Day originated in 1991 when a doctor found a way to send universal health through satellites. Unfortunately, this health care only lasts for 24 hours and it takes a full year to generate enough power so we savor the day. People make plans and reservations to do daring things a year in a half. Health Day is meant to give people the last chance to do that one crazy thing and spend just a little more time with family and friends.

Well, damn! I want this holiday enacted immediately! This can be my chance to achieve all my goals in life, such as running naked through a prairie fire. Perhaps I shall dive into the deep sea. I'm going to wrestle with a shark. I will take my family building-jumping! This is going to be the best holiday ever. What better way to get closer to your family and friends by sharing near death experiences where you DON'T DIE?
This has got to be the coolest holiday ever. Health day should be more than one day. It should be like three days a year. I know it would be rather popular. It would be well celebrated. Awesome idea and it rocks. Also the idea of going all out on this day would be great and not getting hurt.
