Beefless Days
Back in 1942, the town of Ashland, Ohio instituted a policy of "beefless days." It had nothing to do with going vegetarian. All the town residents pledged that on every Thursday until the war ended they wouldn't complain about anything.
On Thursdays, Ashland residents are now free to beef about anything they want. But the town still declares itself to be the "World Headquarters of Nice People."

Would being the "World Headquarters of Nice People" make it the Capital of Co-dependency?

I do get the "no complaining" thing, but did they really have to smile all the time? Doesn't it unfairly targets resting bitch-faces? I feel it's unfair to ask to put your best foot forward AND smile as you do it.

Bragging about being the meanest S.O.B. means you just have to prove it!
Bragging about being the nicest person means YOU ARE NOT!
