I agree with the cartoonist - the speech bubble coming from Mr, not Mrs, is funnier. I'm really surprised that people didn't even get it, because my immediate reaction to the first one (before I saw the second) was to think it'd make more sense for him to be saying it.

On October 6, 1941, the House passed a joint resolution declaring the last Thursday in November to be the legal Thanksgiving Day. The Senate, however, amended the resolution establishing the holiday as the fourth Thursday, which would take into account those years when November has five Thursdays.

Those of us who live outside the US associate turkeys with 25 December, not the day before Black Friday.

I associate Döner Kebabs. Turkey is only eaten by those on their way to become vegan. We eat geese.
