Need help with a story, guys

[mocfan]

As some of you may know, I am a reporter. Every Thanksgiving I write a humorous, tounge in cheek article about this wonderful holiday. This year I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas? Here are a few things I did the last couple of years. --- a story questioning the intelligence of turkeys and how the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for plumbers.

Anyone willing to throw a few ideas out there?

yeah I thought of that, but it has to be tasteful You wouldn't believe how many people in the area get offended over the littlest things.

"Oh boy, Fred! This 'ears the freshest turkey you could possibly eat for Thanksgiving. Shot it myself! Oh, here it comes!"
Mama comes out of the kitchen with the turkey.
"Fred,"
"Yes, Ted,"
"Why is that turkey still gobblin'?"

How about, Why is turkey the most popular bird/meat on thanksgiving? Go into a long explanation on the history of the bird(it being completely fake of course)

What about a "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" thing about trying to get "home" for Thanksgiving?

One year when I was in college, the plan was to go to my boyfriend's parents' for Thursday, then to my parents' house for Saturday. (they were both 150 miles from Champaign, IL, but in different directions). We got iced in Thu, and had Polish sausage for Thanksgiving that year (it was what was in the freezer). Made it to my parents' on Saturday (insert evil laugh....)
