- Actually, I have another turkey question. One week from today (as of this
- writing), I am going to my parents' house for dinner, where 6 people will
- sit down and eat part of a turkey. We will then have leftover turkey for
- lunch on Friday, dinner on Saturday and brunch on Sunday.
-
- Why is it then that our cafeteria at work is selling a Thanksgiving turkey
- special for lunch today? I mean, turkey is nice and all, but most of us
- are going to have more than enough in the coming week. Is there something I
- don't understand about this phenomenon?
