Yesterday [and Sunday by a freak of nature] was my 13th doing as I'm told anniversary.

Congratulations, but how did you manage to have an anniversary spanning two days?
One day I aspire to having a signature.

Simples, in Hungary you have to have a civil licence before they allow you to get married in Church. So on Star Wars day we did the civil shyte and the next day had the Elephants On Parade here[^].

I read this story from WW2 about a yong couple ready to marry, but the groom was sent to war in the Pacific before they could arrange it. Just in case something should happen to him, they wanted to be married. So a marriage was arranged over the air, with one priest where he was stationed, another one back home where she was living, and the two priests each witnessed the "I do" into the microphone of the military radio.
The groom came home from the war without serious wounds, and "they lived happily thereafter", celebrating their anniversary over two days: The radio communication had crossed the date line, so by the dates, he married one day before she did, and the story tells that they used to celebrate both dates.

The surest way to remember anniversary is to forget it once.

I have never forgotten the date. I for one cannot understand how anyone could, it would be like forgetting your own birthday or the names of those small people who make the house messy.

Something tells me you forgot it once.

A few years ago a mate of mine phoned me up one evening and asked if I wanted to go out for a few drinks. When I asked why he said "My dad's just phoned up to wish me happy birthday so apparently it's today".
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

If my dad ever phoned me to wish me a happy birthday, I'd assume that there was something sereiously wrong and get really scared. If he didn't have Facebook to remind him (and he doesn't even use that a lot), he would have absolutely no clue when my birthday was...
Yeah, we're a real tight family!

My father never forgot his anniversary, just always had the date wrong, so eventually my mother gave up (after 20+ years) and accepted the date that he always remembered.

Your father might have been right. It's just that your mother didn't find out.

No the conversation was the same every year
Him: "Happy Anniversary"
Her: "It was Yesterday dear"
Him: "Oh [naughty word her]!, so it was I should remember for next year!"
Her: "yeah dream on"

With all those "Messages Removed" it is obvious he didn't see that coming.

You didn't have to say that twice. Either one makes sense.
