Happy Thanksgiving

Today we celebrate that day in 1621 when the Pilgrims gave thanks to God for a bountiful harvest with a goodly feast. Also in attendance were some of the local Native Americans (whom someone had mistakenly called Indians, because, in ignorance, he thought he had reached India, even though there were no call centers in sight). It would be later that human weakness would cause rifts between the new and indigenous populations, but, today, we choose to remember the happy times. Indians celebrate daily by relieving the most naive descendants of the early settlers of their cash at their casinos.

There was no president at the time to pardon the turkeys, so they were all eaten.
