Area Man Finds Job Search More Difficult With Turkey Leg

The Onion Ripoff

Area Man, Richard Ryer, has discovered that seeking employment is only more difficult while trying to eat a cold Turkey leg.

"Normally I eat all kinds of things when I do my morning research, but with one hand completely occupied it is almost impossible to navigate. I can barely even get to the "etc." section on Craigslist without tiny pieces of turkey skin falling in to my keyboard!"

Ryer goes on to say,"Turkey legs are an American tradition, they should be enjoyed wherever and whenever one chooses. Whether you are unemployed, a minority, gay or all of the above nothing should hold you back. Perhaps Apple can figure this one out!"

The turkey leg is an American staple at outdoor events such as county fairs, Bar-be-q's and of course the big turkey day itself, Thanksgiving. Not traditionally an office snack or a sanitary choice for eating near electronics, but for one American it is clearly another stumbling block that will not  help with a job market that is confronted with new challenges every day.

"It just seems like everything gets more and more difficult. Today it is a turkey leg but next Thanksgiving I may not even have an extra one to snack on."
