**The Mandate:**
On this day and date, it has been decreed that:
All citizens are required to wear pants while in public. Failure to comply will result in the issuance of a strongly worded letter of disappointment.
Furthermore, all Tuesdays are hereby declared official "Waffle Day" and all waffles shall be consumed with a side of syrup.
And finally, the color blue shall be officially recognized as the supreme color of productivity and shall be used in all office decor.
**By the power vested in us, we command thee: Comply.
