Good morning, everyone -

Just a quick note before I head off to start cooking. I hope each of you has an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving.

You know, Christmas has a wonderful story about family and togetherness associated with it ("You'll shoot your eye out!" - for my international friends, it's a line from an American movie)

Anyway, I thought it would be appropriate to share a Thanksgiving story with you all:

One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the
traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to
play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the
store.
When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the
stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and
re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.
When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven
and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit
something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.

With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia,
you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news,
my sister started to cry.

It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY! Eat well, be merry,live happy.

    I am rolling in laughter!!! That is totally hysterical!

    Have a great day Sponger! Aren't you glad that post about you and Katie hit the next page so people will quit hounding you about your relationship and you two could get on with life? Sheesh....the invasion SOME people have on another person's privacy!

    You and Katie are two adults who are entitled to not have your relationship posted allover the internet! It would be plain wrong to keep re-hashing your happiness and flaunting it in front of the world! (Why yes, I am laughing hysterically, as I'm sure Kerry, Kay, scouty, Lisa Rose and Andy are, too!)

    Have a great day my friend....YOU DESERVE IT!!!

    Hugs,

    Stacy

    OK - a little trivia here. What famous authorwas kicked out of the US Military Academy at West point for showing-up for morning formation wearing nothing but his boots and sword?



    Edgar Allen Poe. True. Can we talk about him for a while?

    although I don't think anyone can top that one, it calls up a great one from my host today;
    It was time to rotate the turkey, and her brother was offering his assistance. He offered to lift the turkey while she rotated the oven;she actually started to grab the oven..

    Well speaking of Lorena Bobbitt, I lived in DC during that time and because of all the press it got, one of the funniest true stories I have even heard didn't get much press.

    Neighbors in the same city (Manasas, VA) as the Bobbitt event were awakened one night to the wife next door screaming for help. The police were called and had to break into the house but could hear her screaming for help from upstairs.

    The screams were coming from the master bedroom and upon bursting in, the police found the wife butt naked and tied to the bedposts. Lying bedside the bed was a man in a batman costume.

    Apparently the husband got a little too excited while in "uniform" and was jumping from the dresser onto the bed when he meet the ceiling fan head on, knocking him out.

    I remember almost wrecking my car while listening to the story on the radio.
