But what if you burn the bird? There is a positive way of looking at it:

• Salmonella won't be a concern

• No one will overeat.

• Everyone will think it's Cajun Blackened.

• Uninvited guests will think twice next year.

• Your cheese broccoli lima bean casserole will gain newly found appreciation.

• Pets won't pester you for scraps.

• The smoke alarm was due for a test.

• Carving the bird will provide a good cardiovascular workout.

• After dinner, the guys can take the bird to the yard and play football.

• You'll get to the desserts quicker.

• You won't have to face three weeks of turkey sandwiches. http://www.humormatters.com/
