Pioneer Vs Pilgrim

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!* Growing up I never could keep straight pilgrims and pioneers. I was regularly embarrassed when, as a little kid, I'd talk about the pioneers and the Mayflower and the pilgrims and their handcarts. It was all worth it though as it led to a joke all these many years later.

*Everyone, that is, who celebrates Thanksgiving. To any other reader, happy fourth Thursday of November!
