We all have so much to be thankful for... Even through our trials we can always think of the good times and the gifts bestowed to us and our families. A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was a total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot why he had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
I've got a date with the triptophan fairy tomorrow afternoon..........I plan on eating some turkey then napping with her while pretending to watch football.
The traditional finished appearance of a roasted Thanksgiving turkey is glossy, not flat black. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
The flat to glossy ratio depends on how long you cook it! Can you get little red caps for the drumstick ends?
Back at ya and God Bless us, every one! Thank God for the Stars and Stripes, thank God for the H.A.M.B. (I'll have some turkey and gravy with that HAMB!)
Happy thanksgiving to every one. The Robertson family will be praying for the safe travel for all and the fellow HAMERS that are recovering from tragic events god bless
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Take the day off from the garage and spend it enjoying your family. Talk to you all on Friday.
