My history prof has a little trouble getting us to class on time...so he has these periodic "pop quizzes" for those who come early. Today's question was one of his killer questions - "What holiday is going to be celebrated this coming Thursday?"
I answered, "TURKEY HOLIDAY".
How original.
Then I found out that the whole Red Indians sharing food with the starving pilgrims at Plymouth Rock story was a scam. Apparently, the holiday was invented by Ab Lincoln during the civil war to give a break to the soldiers. Really, that takes away a lot of the romance from the story.
Not that Red Indians bringing turkeys to starving pilgrims is very romantic...I'm just sayin'...
But yes, its that time of the year again. The time of the turkey.
