IN CELEBRATION OF DICKHEAD WEEK IN LAUNCESTON

It turns out that the first week in March from this day forward will be known as, and celebrated as, DICKHEAD WEEK – with the first Monday in March being DICKHEAD DAY.

The story goes that an Alderman at a City Council meeting was behaving, well let's say in a way that was not being appreciated by another. To cut to the chase the latter interjected and called the former a "DICKHEAD" out loud.

The Alderman who brought all this upon himself protested bitterly but nobody seemed to hear who had called him a DICKHEAD – which by the way was not the name his parents gave him. There was all kinds of commentary about:

• The need for an apology or not;
• The extent to which the name was appropriate under the circumstances;
• Whether or not an ego could/should be wounded;
• Whether or not dickhead was a swear word or a colloquialism; and on and on and on
  

So from now on in Launceston the first Monday in March anyone can call anyone a "Dickhead" without hurting their ego and the press is very likely to continue to ignore it as it has done up until now..... read more here
