Hug Your Boss Day - August 16

The third Friday of August is "Hug Your Boss Day." But before you start celebrating too enthusiastically, you might want to check out your company policy regarding touching coworkers in the workplace! Harassment issues aside, who deserves a nice warm hug more than your boss? (There may have even been times you wanted to hug them to death!)

If you're just not the touchy-feely type, I'm sure a nice smile and knowing glance will suffice. It's a shame though, because you're missing out on the opportunity to set one of these hugging world records:

* Longest hug - Ron O'Neil and Theresa Kerr - 24 hours and 33 minutes

* Largest group hug - 10,554 people - Ontario, Canada on May 7, 2010

* Most hugs given by an individual in 24 hours - Jonathan Sexton - 8,709
