It’s February 29
 
  1. I’m going to get married on February 29th, so I only have to remember our anniversary once every 4 years.
 
  1. Are you going to buy into an annual subscription of any kind?
    Do it on February 29, you might get it free for the next four years.
 
 
  1. At a monastery high in the mountains, the monks have a rigid vow of silence.
    Only at Christmas, and only by one monk, and only with one sentence, is the vow allowed to be broken.

    One Christmas, Brother Thomas is allowed to speak and he says,
    "I like the mashed potatoes we have with the Christmas turkey!" and he sits down.

    Silence ensues for 365 days.

    The next Christmas, Brother Michael gets his turn, and he says
    "I think the mashed potatoes are lumpy and I hate them!
         Once again, silence for 366 days (because it's leap year).
 
        The following Christmas, Brother Paul rises and says,
       "I am fed up with this constant bickering!"
