Jerry's Got Your Tuesday Covered: Thumbs Up for These Quirky Holidays!
Ever wondered what chaos would ensue if your furry friend had opposable thumbs? Well, today's If Pets Had Thumbs Day invites you to imagine just that. Picture your cat opening the fridge, your dog changing the TV channel, or maybe even your pet thumbing a ride down the street. Jerry shared that he suspects his cat might already have this superpower, catching balls and eating with suspiciously human-like paws.
Ice cream lovers, rejoice! It's also National 33 Flavors Day, celebrating Bresler's ice cream chain that once advertised their impressive 33 flavors (that's two more than Baskin Robbins' famous 31).
And in honor of the final featured holiday, Jerry demonstrated Talk in Third Person Day by doing exactly that throughout the segment. Jerry thinks Jerry did a pretty good job with it.
