From the turkey's perspective, this was unexpected. Sometimes you just can't use past observed data - even a lot of it - to project future events:
I obviously can't take credit for this brilliant chart: the idea comes from Nicholas Nassim Taleb's brilliant book, The Black Swan. Taleb himself got the idea from Bertrand Russell's analysis of a chicken.

And what is it that you’re implying …. That turkeys increase their happiness each day they live longer? It looks like 50 “happy points” per about 5 months.
