Thanksgiving Week.....grab some cooked shrimp and smoked salmon to go with that turkey!!!!!
Freshest Oysters in TOWN.....right here at Absolutely Fresh Seafood Market. By the gallon, pint, or half pint. Or live in the shell as well.
Last week for Halibut, too. Until March of 2008.
Today at Bailey's: Chef Jon made a special soup: Smoky Ham & Cheddar (with 4 year aged Cheddar cheese). Try some today or tomorrow!
Closed on Thanksgiving: both seafood markets, both restaurants, and our wholesale operation, so that we too, can spend time with our families. Open Friday as usual. Take a break from shopping on Black Friday, and pop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or grab some seafood from either Seafood Market for home!!
Absolutely Fresh Seafood Market Specials:
FRESH-COOKED SHRIMP
FRESH-SMOKED SALMON
FRESH SHUCKED OYSTERS
The best Shrimp, Smoked Salmon and Oysters in town! Okay, I'm bragging, but nobody else cooks their own shrimp. Why? Because it doesn't fit into the computer, and it costs a little more.
That's right.....believe it or not, I pay our AFS employees more than what they get in Thailand or India (where the vast majority of grocery store cooked shrimp comes from). But really, 6 or 7 bucks per day isn't that hard to beat.
It's fun to bring in different seafoods for y'all! Thanks for supporting every locally owned and operated business in Omaha. Especially AFS.
Wishing everyone an excellent Turkey Day; I'll be enjoying a Thanksgiving feast with my extended family. Hopefully I will be able to get out of bed Friday morning and back to work. Go Huskers!!

High Urinals
A group of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack (Churchill Downs) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon), but mostly to see the horses.
When it was time to take the children to the bathroom it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal.
Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, holding on to their "wee-wees" to direct the flow away from their clothes. As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed.
Trying not to show that she was staring the teacher said, "You must be in the 5th grade."
"No, ma'am", he replied. "I'm the jockey riding Silver Arrow in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help."

Holidays are upon us! Remember: Absolutely Fresh Seafood Markets have the
#1 Rated Party Platters in Nebraska - 20 years running!
And I'll tell you why people like ours the best; we are the only folks actually cooking the shrimp, and smoking the salmon. That's why you keep on buying our fresh-cooked shrimp and salmon all year long out of our case.
So remember that we've got the really good goods; whether you plan to make your arrangement at home, or have us do it for you on our platters. With our home made cocktail sauce and dill sauce, you will be the HIT of your get-togethers.

Marriage: The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up." Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests. God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy nightie. 'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anything you want.' So he tied her up and went golfing.

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206. Speedbird 206: " Frankfurt , Speedbird 206! Clear of active runway." Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?" Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now." Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?" Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land."

Subject: Purely Political
While walking down the street one day, a senator is tragically hit by a truck and killed. His soul arrives in
Heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," says the senator.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in Hell and one in Heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."
"There's no need! I want to be in Heaven," says the senator.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator, the doors open, and he rides the elevator down, down, down. When the doors open again, the senator finds himself in the middle of a beautiful green golf course. In the distance is a club, and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in formal dress. They run to greet him, and they reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster and caviar.
Also present is the Devil, who is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that, before the senator realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up, and the door reopens in Heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
So 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by, and St. Peter returns.
"Well, you've spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now, you must choose where you want to spend eternity."
He reflects for a minute and then answers, "Well, I would never would have thought it, I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better satisfied in Hell."
So Saint Peter escorts him to the elevator, and down, down, down he goes into Hell. Now, the doors of the elevator open, and he is in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. And it's hot, hot, hot, and the odor is just horrible.
Sweltering hot. Hot and miserable. The Devil comes over to him and smoothly lays his arm around his shoulder.
"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "The day before I was here, and there was a golf course and club, and we ate lobster and caviar and danced and had a great time. Now all there is is a wasteland full of garbage, and my friends look miserable."
The Devil looks at the senator, smiles, and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted for us."
