Leap Year

So today I learnt that Leap Year is meant to signify a day of doing things one wouldn't normally do. Apparently this is mainly played out by women being allowed (?!) or expected (...?) to do the proposing in relationships. And I heard that if she's rejected then you have to give her a box of rescued cats and a book on crocheting and knitting to usher her into her old maid days. If she's over 19, then you just put her down.

This might be dated information.
