1. 1 day ago on Working It Out

   At the hospital where I worked we got a free Thanksgiving dinner if you worked the holiday. The husband of one of the technicians brought her Thanksgiving dinner, after she had already eaten her free one. She weighed somewhere around 400 lbs, he must have been 450-500 lbs. She ate an entire second meal of turkey, potatoes and gravy, stuffing, rolls, etc. Then he pulled out a Village Inn French Silk pie. Oh boy, I thought, we’re going to have French Silk pie. He cut the pie in half and gave her half. They ate an entire pie between them.

   In 1969 I worked on a railroad special crew on Thanksgiving. At lunchtime we stopped near a pile of railroad ties. We set one on fire and moved several other ties around it for warmth. I ate Thanksgiving dinner out of a lunchbox sitting on a railroad tie, in the snow, near a railroad tie fire. For Christmas that year I worked a train derailment. We started at 7AM on Christmas Eve morning and finished at 6:30 AM Christmas Day. The railroad brought in a dining car and rotated us off the work area every few hours for a huge meal so we could rest, have a hot meal, and warm up.

   He was in the unique situation of being able to read and write English but not speak it, and speak French but not read or write it.

   Since society goes immediately from Halloween to Christmas, my wife and I always referred to Thanksgiving as “Forgotten Holiday” We would wish each other “Happy Forgotten Holiday!” on the fourth Thursday of November.

   Old Joke: ’What do Fine Arts majors say at work?" “Do you want fries with that?”

   Yeah, just like gravitational theory, electromagnetic theory, and atomic theory.

    Possibly because he is facing Tarzan both yesterday and today. It would be hard to shoot him in the back.
