Annual International Day of Having a Clue

Now, as it so happens today is the day when we all have to pretend we know what we are doing and that we have a pretty good idea of what is actually going on in the world around us. Yes, today is the fifth Annual International Day of Having a Clue.

As we all now know, the UN set up this international day because it was felt, at least by those delegates who made it back from lunch, that the world was in dire need of another International Day of the Something or Other. Another of those days used to raise awareness of that something or other, which is generally regarded by those that think they know what’s best for us, as a good thing. However, this Annual International Day of Having a Clue was the best that they could come up with at the time.

Since those UN delegates who turned up to vote on this particular Day of Action hadn’t got a clue as to what they wanted the Day of Action to be about they didn’t have anything to vote on to make themselves feel important, useful and relevant. Then someone – apparently - thought it would be a good idea to use this day to raise awareness of the dangers and problems of no-one in the world really knowing what the fuck is going on.

Therefore, the Annual International Day of Having a Clue was instigated, in the – somewhat vain – hope that someone, somewhere, in the world will – one day – have some sort of clue about actually what the fuck is going on, and will – somehow- manage to communicate that clue to the rest of us before it is too late.
