Mr. Thanksgiving Gets Leprosy

I don’t know how it happened. He seemed fine last year. I’ve had him for a few years, but last year was the first I remembered him and actually put some salt in him in time for Thanksgiving dinner. This year, though, I remembered in plenty of time to be using him for a whole [...]
