1. When deciding on a national bird, Ben Franklin wanted a turkey.
Last night on lane 3 at the Starlite Bowl-o-rama, Ben Clappelhorn
wanted the same.

2. At the start of Thanksgiving dinner tradition, no one knew that
reservations would be used later.

3. There have been many Native American Thanksgiving fallacies history
and Hollywood have created over the years...and how!

4. George Bush pardoned the national turkey from being served on
Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, the bird will have to serve as a
reserve for an additional 20 months or until a new quota of
replacements is met.

5. Thanksgiving means a lot to kids in school. it signifies
there are just a few more weeks til Christmas break.

6. There is no reason for overeating on Thanksgiving,
but there is a rhyme:
Turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie
on my plate sitting side by side
When I wanted more placed upon my plate
Mom said 'others go first'; I'd have to wait
But my 3rd or 4th helpings were taken soon
cause Uncle Harold's drunk in the living room

7. When asked what Thanksgiving traditions she followed in
the Clinton home, Hillary replied that there we many times
she enjoyed the feeling of giving her oft roving eyed husband
"the bird".

8. Other than the hot air, what do the Macy's Day Parade and
Fred Thompson have in common? They are on TV!

9. With regards to the American consumer paying outrageous prices
for gas at the pumps and heating costs, the Turkey industry has
decided to raise their's too.

10. And... Hey! I am never wrong.
I thought I was wrong once, but even then I was right!

~ Happy Thanksgiving!
