On this thanksgiving day you need to be thankful for a great deal.  Not the least being thankful for the person who cooked that fantastic meal you’re going to sit down to.

Several years ago during the holidays there was a very popular sweatshirt that sold out in record time.  It featured an exhausted looking woman holding a huge platter of baked Turkey etc.

Under the picture it read:

“This is the last time I spend Thanksgiving Day shoving wet bread crumbs up a dead Turkey’s butt while everyone else sits around watching football!”

After dinner, make the cook sit down and you do the clean up.
