Why did the bullet end up losing his job?

You can buy a Festivus pole: Wagner Cos. of Milwaukee began selling Festivus poles several years ago as a bit of a joke. But the railings manufacturing company has sold more than 7,000 poles so far, mostly to people and companies looking for a politically correct excuse to throw a party. “It allows you to celebrate without offending anyone,” Tony Leto, the company’s sales vice president, told the Los Angeles Times.

Festivus is recognized by the state of Florida: An activist championing the separation of church and state successfully lobbied for a Festivus display in the state capitol’s rotunda. The Festivus pole is adorned with Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans.

Mystery surrounds this key aspect of Festivus: On the beloved “Seinfeld” episode, are the Festivus faithful eating... meatloaf? Spaghetti? Or meatloaf spaghetti? This is one mystery, like Big Foot and the Yeti, that might not ever be solved.

The “Seinfeld” Festivus episode aired in 1997: Its timing was perfect, too. It aired the week before Christmas 1997.

Festivus was born long before that: The mock holiday dates back to 1966, according to the New York Times, and it was introduced to family and friends by Dan O’Keefe. O’Keefe’s son, Daniel, would grow up to become a writer on “Seinfeld,” culling from the family tradition for the episode.
