Thanksgiving Tit-Bits

“Elementary, my dear Watson” – is what Sherlok Homes used to tell his assistant – Dr. Watson. Its astonishingly true how the elementary things often escape our senses and elude our memory. While we all have a splashing time during the holidays very few of us care to remember the little tit-bits that often accompany us through the day. For example while we all remember what we had for dinner last Thanksgiving, I doubt how many would remember what they said just before starting dinner or what was the first word they uttered when they got into the car.

Here are few interesting tit-bits I found on the net about Thanksgiving.

While most of us (59%) would prefer to stay at home on Thanksgiving, those hitting the road anticipate the following to be the most uttered phrase on their way to Thanksgiving Dinner –

i) “Are we there yet?” (57%)
ii) “Slow Down” (21%)
iii) “Do you know where you are going?” (11%) (BEWARE!!! This is a dangerous question. If you happen to be on the hearing side of this statement, take guard. This might be the lull before the storm)
iv) “Could you drive faster?” (7%) (This is dangerous again, only a little bit less than the previous one)
v) “You missed the turn” (4%)


For those who prefer to stay back at home here’s what they do after Thanksgiving Dinner

i) Only 10% take post turkey naps.
ii) 60% of women clean up right away
iii) 42% of men head straight for the TV.
