You want to skip work and watch the first-round games of the NCAA men’s Tournament on Thursday and Friday, but what excuse will you give your boss? I can think of no better document than a doctor’s note on Hooters’ stationary.

Fans are encouraged to visit HootersHookyDay.com to cure their “basketball fever” and download a doctor’s note and redeem a free appetizer coupon this Thursday and Friday during the games.

During this promotion, Hooters has again partnered with long time Hooters spokesperson and college basketball analyst, Dick Vitale. He is featured in the Hooters national TV commercial, alongside “Nurse Ashleigh.”

Of course he is.

But this part is cool:

Hooters will donate $1 per new Facebook Like to the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Grant, up to $10,000.

So let’s get on that.

    I’m pretty sure my boss wouldn’t let a “nurse’s note” fly. Go take the MCATs, Focker.
