Don't let the cranberries bog you down
Right or left, conservative or progressive, Republican or Democrat, one thing we can all agree on: this is a horrible attempt at humor. As your family and friends gather around you this Thanksgiving, don't allow your little differences to overwhelm what you have in common. Throw in an occasional zinger that is more or less appropriate for this specific holiday. Here are some very poor suggestions...
Your goose is cooked ... I yam what I yam ... your ideas are like the mashed potatos ... you're full of beans ... are you giving me the bird? ... what a turkey you are! ... shut up and pass the pumpkin pie ... he wants all the gravy ... you get the last part of the bird over the fence ... let's make a wish ...
...well, you get the idea. A few "groaners" will lighten things up before a fist fight breaks out. It doesn't matter what your politics are, we are all Americans. Let us celebrate in the spirit of the first Americans who had an overwhelming advantage over the starving Pilgrims and were willing to overlook the atrocities of the white colonists and share their food and hospitality.
Happy Thanksgiving, Pilgrim!
