Happy Thanksgiving! My
favorite holiday is less commercialized than many others. To me, Thanksgiving
is an F-ing holiday (in a good sense): family,
friends, food, fun, and pausing to
realize how fortunate we are.
As a child, we always
watched the The Macy’s Day Parade. I don’t know who in the family misnamed it,
but it wasn’t until I was an adult that someone corrected me. Honestly, it was
just a phrase I said, never thinking about the meaning. Of course, it’s the
Thanksgiving Day Parade. Duh! The kickoff to the day of eating mindlessly.
Gluttony is acceptable this one day of the year, but that was not always the
case.
Much has been written about
the real first Thanksgiving and how it must have differed from today’s gourmand
gluttony. So I won’t go comparing menus and explaining how they couldn’t have
had this food or that. Or how Indians and Pilgrims weren’t the besties
portrayed in paintings. Others have run with those for years.
Instead, briefly, here are
some Thanksgiving jokes to share at the dinner table or over pie later! Answers to riddles below. Thanks, Internet
resources, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Riddles:
1)
What kind of
music did the Pilgrims like?
2)
What is a
pumpkin’s favorite sport?
3)
What do you get
if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?
4)
What do
Thanksgiving and Halloween have in common?

legs and can’t open doors?
Jokes:
A lady was looking for a turkey but couldn't find one big
enough. She asked the stock boy "Do these turkeys get any bigger?"
The stock boy replied "No they're dead."
A potato and a sweet potato were playing on the playground.
The sweet potato told the potato, "Hey, I just found out I'm related to
you." The potato said," No you're are not!" The sweet potato replied,
"Yes, I yam."
My family told me to stop telling Thanksgiving jokes, but I
told them I couldn't quit "cold turkey".
Hope your Turkey is moist and your stuffing in fluffy and
when you're done eating you'll be nice and stuffy.
Happy Turkey Day, America! Don't forget to name the turkey
and make everyone uncomfortable.
If I was a turkey, I'd be doing everything I could to taste
terrible right now.
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to
dinner at the same moment ..... halftime.
They should change the name of Thanksgiving to something
more fitting like say, Turkeypocolypse or Stuffing-cide.
Want to really freak someone out? Add 2 extra turkey legs to
the turkey when it's in the oven.
