QUOTE OF THE MONTH
"Thanksgiving is a magical time of year when families across the country join together to raise America's obesity statistics. Personally, I love Thanksgiving traditions: watching football, making pumpkin pie, and saying the magic phrase that sends your aunt storming out of the dining room to sit in her car."
-Stephen Colbert

JOKE du JOUR
I was visiting my daughter last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
"This is the 21st century," she said. “We don't waste money on newspapers. Here, use my iPad."
I can tell you this. That fly never knew what hit him.

THANKSGIVING LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
THE VERY FIRST
TV DINNER WAS THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS
In 1953, someone at Swanson severely overestimated the amount of turkey Americans would consume that Thanksgiving. With 260 tons of frozen birds to get rid of, a company salesman named Gerry Thomas ordered 5,000 aluminum trays, recruited an assembly line of women armed with spatulas and ice-cream scoops and began creating mini-feasts of turkey, corn-bread dressing, peas and sweet potatoes — creating the first-ever TV dinner. Thomas later said he got the idea from neatly packaged airplane food.
