The Day History Called to Say 'Be Happy, Eat Sandwiches, and Thank Bell for Your Phone Bill ☎️
SEGMENT 1:
Did you know that today is National I Want You to be Happy Day? It's true! And what better way to spread joy than by sharing a smile? Studies show that smiling is contagious - so technically, you're not just grinning, you're starting an epidemic of happiness!
SEGMENT 2:
Speaking of happiness, on this day in 1931, "The Star-Spangled Banner" became our national anthem. But here's the funny part - Francis Scott Key never meant for it to be sung! He wrote it as a poem, and if you've ever heard anyone attempt those high notes, you might think he had the right idea!
SEGMENT 3:
Today is also National Cold Cuts Day! Did you know the average American eats 1,996 sandwiches in their lifetime? I guess you could say we're really bringing home the bacon... and the ham... and the turkey!
SEGMENT 4:
On this day in 1875, the first indoor hockey game was played in Montreal. Why indoor? Because the players were tired of getting frost bite every time they got a penalty in the "sin bin"!
SEGMENT 5:
March 3rd is National Mulled Wine Day! Medieval folks believed mulled wine could cure the common cold. I'm not saying they were right, but has anyone ever complained about having a cold while drinking warm, spiced wine?
SEGMENT 6:
And now for our feature story: On this day in 1847, Alexander Graham Bell was born, and boy, did he have a way with words! When he got his first phone bill, he was so shocked, he actually tried to call himself to complain! The operator said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to hold - you're on the other line!"
