Steve,

I got married September 2, 1978.  By October, my wife was calling me "Pumpkin"
and life was good.

Inexplicably, in the following month, "Pumpkin" turned into "Turkey" overnight.
It wasn't a one time slip.  "Turkey" does quite have that same romantic touch to
it -- try telling your wife  to call you "Turkey" romatically -- it is simply
not possible.

Not quite ready to see my marriage go down in the second month and not wanting
to be called the "Turkey" the rest of my life, I gently inquire as to what
happened to "Pumpkin" and where exactly is this "Turkey" coming from?

Without missing a beat and not even taking time to stop what she was doing, she
said, "Listen Honey, 'Pumpkin' was for Halloween - that's over now, this is is
November and we have Thanksgiving and now you're the 'Turkey'"

As a New Yorker, I am sure you will appreciate my wife's sense of humor.  The
good news is that 'Turkey' did not stick and I will never ever tell you what she
calls me now.

Chubby Regards,

Michael
