How to Celebrate Blame Someone Else Day

Celebrate Blame Someone Else Day on the first Friday the 13th of the year. Today, you can gather up all your mistakes, missteps, misspellings, and faux pas and heap them at someone else's door. So go ahead! Make mistakes. Put your foot in your mouth. Blow everything! Then blame the Republicans, the Democrats or the military-industrial complex.

Instructions

1. Make a list of all the things you meant to do but forgot. Add the things you did poorly, or started but never finished.

2. Find someone to blame for each thing on the list. Be sure to write everything down.

3. Tell everyone who asks the name of the person you have decided to blame for everything. Make sure to repeat this several times, to ensure that everyone is able to remember the scapegoat.

4. Be careful, as everything you blame on someone else may come back to haunt you later. After all, if you can blame someone else, so can they. It is best to blame someone who is your equal or who is somehow inferior to you. Best of all is some anonymous entity, such as Big Government, Illegal Immigrants, Terrorists, or Democrats.

5. Once Blame Someone Else Day passes, it's all your fault again. Use this day wisely.
