Steak and Blowjob Day

• Celebrated on March 14th, Steak and Blowjob Day is a holiday for men, celebrated the month after Valentine's Day -- a holiday for women. The idea is simple: no cards, flowers, candy or other whimsical gifts. Ladies (and gay men), you simply bestow your partner with a steak and a blowjob. Not necessarily in that order.

Jeff: "Hey Bob, what did Stacey get you for Steak and Blowjob Day?" 

Bob: "Well Jeff, that would be a big juicy steak, and a big juicy blowjob."
