Thanksgiving Humor

[Subdeacon Joe]

We're watching the morning news.  A segment about the high cost of The Meal.  Wife quipped,  "Solve the problem the traditional way.   Make Native Americans bring all the food."

 

Which inspired this thread.

 

 

 

And, one serious image:

B-b-b-it the Puritans came ten years after the first Thanksgiving and those sanctimonious prigs probably wouldn’t have celebrated anything.

Living out among farms, seems the turkeys know something is up. One of them is trying to imitate a rooster. Pitiful attempt, every morning now I hear "gobble-gobble-doo, gobble-gobble-doo."

Sanctimonious?  Yes.

Prigs? Maybe not so much, considering the number of court records of trials for adultery,  fornication,  and various other carnal shenanigans,  they seem to have been a rather lusty lot.  Also they were heartily in favor of frequent marital relations as helping with couples bonding and harmony within the marriage

I thought the Puritans showed up in 1620, on the Mayflower.

 

Did they lie to me in American history class?

I would not have done well living amongst the Puritans and Quakers and such. I can’t stand uptight pious sonsof….Hey! Look at that turkey!

Well, American history class has been a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure they taught us that the Puritans were the pilgrims. Same people.

 

Like black people and African Americans. Or Indians and native Americans. Different names for the same group of people.

 

Added: Church of England ran them out of England because the C-of-E did not agree with their religious practices, and they went to Holland. But the Dutch weren't all that happy with them either, so they left Holland and came here on the Mayflower.

 

Ain't that the way it happened?

The funniest thing EVER recorded anywhere was at the end when Carlson made his statement about thinking turkeys could fly.

 

 After all these years it still makes me laugh until tears come.

Pilgrims were living in exile in Holland before coming to America.

Heck, John Wayne encountered Pilgrims from the 1860’s to the 1900’s. That’s 230-270 years after they landed.

The main difference between the Pilgrims and the Puritans is that the Puritans did not consider themselves separatists. They called themselves “nonseparating congregationalists,” by which they meant that they had not repudiated the Church of England as a false church. But in practice they acted–from the point of view of Episcopalians and even Presbyterians at home–exactly as the separatists were acting.
