Happy Thanksgiving (at least for my fellow Americans)

I had to prove I wasn't diseased to get my green card. In those days (1985) you had to prove that did not have VD - I don't recall now if it was gonorrhea or syphilis or both. So my wife and I duly went to the official doctor's office so he could draw blood for the tests. He had trouble getting blood out of my wife - a problem she had all her life. In the end I said "If she's got it, I've got it. Take two vials of mine." So he did. And I didn't.

I don't think the indigenous original native immigrants from the Asian landmass who crossed to the Americas only to meet up with pale and/or darkish European immigrants coming from the Atlantic side ever served anyone turkey. Yet another inaccurate meme.

ex-kA, boy back in 1976 the only green-card check up was for TB. Needed to have x-rays. No one from the AmEmb in London or the Immigration in the USA ever bothered to look at them. Just wanted to know I had them, I guess. Maybe my American wife and blond, blue-eyed baby swung the balance.
