Happy Thanksgiving People,
I do hope this blog finds you about to test the elasticity of your stomach. But my little turkey fiends, before you stack all of that yummy food on top of your plate, let us not forget the reason for this wonderful day of thanks. Thanksgiving has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give God thanks for the Pilgrims surviving a brutal winter. It became a federal holiday in 1941. Though now primarily considered a secular holiday, there is still plenty to thank the Man (or Woman - I'm still working on not being a chauvinist) above for....So, drop the fork for a minute, bow your head and give thanks....Here are a couple of things that come to mind:
#5 Child Support Checks - Most of you women don't deserve this money 'cause inevitably you trick it off on something for yourself and claim it's for the the kid...and I know you do it sometimes...but that's the system. However, isn't life great when you can get money from someone else's hard work, every two weeks..and not even be taxed on it?
#4 The Unemployment Check - It is never a good thing to be laid off...But folks are finding out that this free money aint that bad...And thanks to the Big O administration, unemployment has just gotten extended. I think all of us should start campaigning for Big O in the 2012 election.
#3 The Link Card - Not since the reusable paper CTA transfer has one gotten so much use out of such a little card. The Link card is a win-win for everyone. Even if you need cash instead of groceries you can always sell the value at a discount for cash. Who hasn't bought $100 worth of groceries for $75?...And my good people, do not gouge the Link card owner...It aint right and Karma is a mutha...
#2 Tax Refund - For those of us who have worked, tax time for us is what Christmas is to a 10 year old. Life just doesn't get any better. Granted, most of us blow the money on some bullshit....It sure feels good for a moment. Just remember people, don't stretch those claims too far.
#1) The Turkey - Our feathered friends give the ultimate sacrifice. We kill about 40 million of these tasty birds every year. What would Thanksgiving be without the Turkey?...Don't get me wrong. This is one of the dumbest birds around and serves no useful purpose...Can it even fly?...Still, be thankful for it's existence.
Happy Thanksgiving People....
