There is a reason why we have Mardi gras. Its called Lent and Ash Wednesday is the begining of lent.

You're right. The bible doesn't say you have to go to church the day after Mardi Gras and get your forehead marked with burned palm ash.
It actually originates within the Jewish culture, FWIW.

We get ashes, and don't eat meat on Fridays so we can be TPOS at all other times, and Jesus will look the other way.

we? you got a mouse in your pocket?
folks that choose to do so, that's their business.
but they should know, it is simply traditions of men, and nothing more...

When I was in Jr. High and still Catholic, my dad and I were going to play tennis and I had a friend along
We were supposed to get ashes before going to the courts, that is what my dad told my mom. When we got to the pontoon bridge that crossed the bayou to get to church, it was open. These bridges are notorious for letting many boats through and my dad didn't feel like waiting, so we went play tennis instead.
Apparently, feeling guilty, just before we left the courts, he took a broken piece of asphalt from the court ( the material these particular courts were made of) and he faked a cross on my head. We got home and mom was none the wiser.
I told that story to her years later and still bring it up for laughs.

I did it with cigarette ashes once when I was going visit my grandmother on ash Wednesday so she would think I got my ashes before I ate her seafood gumbo
