Pluck

Today all across America millions of plucked turkeys are roasted, carved and served to millions of people giving thanks, perhaps for not being cooked themselves from simultaneous nuclear testing done on this day in Nevada and the USSR in 1976.

And, on this date in 1888 Harpo — né Adolph — Marx, who plucked not the feathers of fowl but the taut strings of a harp, was born.

Duck Soup, not Turkey Soup, for The Daily Shirt.

Fish Pie T-Shirts & Gifts offers this "Harpists are Plucky" Baseball Jersey — I could see Harpo sporting one; the complete harpist line is here — among their many musically themed wares (with similar pithy — and sometimes naughty — sayings such as Guitarists Are Picky, Drummers Like A Good Bang, and Pianists Love to Tinkle). Their entire CafePress.com shop is most worthy of a click.
