madness for Turkay to reject the advice

The literal meaning of the
word is "Fat Tuesday" 1t is the
French name for the Carnival
which is held in Catholic countries
on the Tuesday preceding Lent
The term Carnival is said to be
derived from the Latin cdani Udle

day" is, doubtless, derived from
the bpf gras - fat OK - which
forms the chief feature of the
