On this day of Thanksgiving, I wish to express my gratitude for, what I believe to be, one of the world’s greatest inventions. First invented in 1886 but not widely used until the 1950s, this invention single handedly promotes greatly family unity. Arguments between roommates, spouses, and children are all decreased because of this invention. Its presence in nearly every modern home encourages the frequent gathering of friends and relatives for special occasions as well as on the ordinary Tuesday night. Many days I am thankful for its existence and on a day like today I am especially thankful.
Its benefits to our lives extend even further than household unity. In fact it has played a significant role in the extension of our lives. Many a person has been spared suffering and a writhing death because of the wide acceptance of this tool.
While its name is absent from the Bible, some unemployed biblical scholars even believe, had it been around at the time, Cain might not have killed his brother Abel.
What could this tool of global harmony and ingenuity be? Well, just because I am thankful on this day does not mean I am helpful, for this answer you will have to wait until the next Milk Can . . . but you are welcome to guess.
