\*"April 4 is the Feast of the King’s Left Earlobe. When a feast to honor **King iiii** was first mooted, his adoring subjects protested on the grounds that the King’s awesomeness was too great to be confined to a mere single feast day. It was therefore decreed that each day of the year would be set aside to praise and celebrate a different specific body part of the King, thus allowing for full public appreciation of all parts of His Royal Resplendence. For example, June 8 is the Feast of the King’s Left Nostril, while October 14 is the Feast of the King’s Spleen. The only exception is the entire month of August which is dedicated to the King’s Genitals, it being chosen due to it being one of the longest and hottest months."\* [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-am-your-king-you-must-come-and-pay-homage/831739.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-am-your-king-you-must-come-and-pay-homage/831739.md?page=9)
