Holmdel Super's 'No Inside-Out PJs' Edict Lauded In Ocean County

HOLMDEL, NJ — Enough already. Enough shoveling. Enough scraping. No. More. Snow.

As yet another nor'easter bears down on New Jersey and threatens to dump a foot or more of the white stuff on the state, the Holmdel Township Schools superintendent has a message for all the youngsters out there hoping for another day off from school.

"This is an order from your Superintendent ! No Inside/OutBackward PJ’s, Spoons Under Pillows, Snow Dances, White Crayons in the Freezer, Ice Cubes on the Porch or in the Toilet, or Running Around the Dining Table 5 Times tonite! #nomoresnow"

The tweet from Superintendent Robert McGarry received a hearty second from the Ocean County Prosecutor's office, which was preparing to issue a similar edict when McGarry tweeted. "Great minds think alike," said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the prosecutor's office.

In echoing McGarry's sentiments, Della Fave said, "Dear Moms and Dads, we here at the OCPO have your back. Enough snow days already."

"Yes it is tempting to support your children. I confess to joining my daughter in wearing our underwear on my head back in her TR East elementary days, but please fight that urge tonight at all costs."

The edicts may be a little too late: The National Weather Service says we could be in for a doozy, despite the calendar's declaration of spring. Just pray it thaws quickly. It's time to go fishing!
