From the November 25, 2016, Bizarro comic strip.
Two Pilgrims are standing out by a field and one looks at the other, whose hat is in a pile on his head and says: "What made thee want to take the belt off thine hat?"

Happy Thanksgiving
On this 386th anniversary of the "first" one back in Plymouth, New England, I'd like to wish everyone a happy.
Actually, there was a day of thanks in Virginia two years earlier, and who knows if the Lost Colony might ever had had one? The only difference was that the one by Jamestown , at the Bereley Plantation was a religious one, where a group of new-comers knealt in a prayer of thanks.
Also, this must be a great time for the three US towns named after the turkey. The most populous one is good ol' Turkey, Texas, with a bustling population of 429. I wonder if it has a high school. What would its name be: The Turkey Turkeys, The Turkey Gobblers, The Turkey, The Turkey National Birds?
By the way, when the search was on for a national bird, Benjamin Franklin suggested it be the turkey. Glad he didn't get his way on that one even if some of our politicians would appear....
