Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

Which means for some in the office, the best holiday of the year is following... Christmas you say? No. BLACK FRIDAY!

A fellow co-worker treats this day as a sport. Complete with maps, check points, lists and many family members on speed dial for last minute items.

I have yet to be ambitious enough to get out of bed before 9am on a vacation day!

Happy Friday!

Family gatherings...

Eddie in Dallas calls his son in New York just before Thanksgiving and tells him, "I am sorry to tell you but your mother and I are going to be divorcing. I just cannot take anymore of her complaining. We can't stand the sight of each other anymore. I am telling you first Eddie, because you are the eldest, please tell your sister."

When Eddie calls his sister Julie, she says: "No way are they getting divorced. I will go over and see them for Thanksgiving."

Julie phones here parents and tells them both "You must NOT get divorced. Promise you won't do anything until I get over there. I'm calling Eddie, and we'll both be there with you tomorrow. Until then, don't take any action, please listen to me", and hangs up.

The father puts down the phone and turns to his wife and says, "Good news, Eddie and Julie are coming for Thanksgiving and they are both paying their own way."

Turkeys...

 

Hanging the Turkey

Young Simon was sitting in his grandmother's kitchen, watching her prepare the Thanksgiving meal.

'What are you doing?' Simon inquired.

'Oh, I'm just stuffing the turkey,' his grandmother replied.

'Wow, that's cool.' Simon remarked. 'Are you going to hang it next to the deer?' 

This Weeks Quote...

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!
