Happy Eating                                          

 'Twas the night of Thanksgiving,                     

But I just couldn't sleep...                                              

I tried counting backwards,

I tried counting sheep.

The leftovers beckoned…                                                 

The dark meat and white

But I fought the temptation                                                  with all of my might.

 Tossing and turning                                                        

 with anticipation,                                                                    The thought of a snack                                                became pure infatuation.

So, I raced to the kitchen,                                            

flung open the door                                   
And gazed at the fridge,                                                  

full of goodies galore.                             
I gobbled up turkey                                                       and buttered potatoes,

 Stuffing with gravy,                                                    green beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling                                                       so plump and so round,

Till all of a sudden,                                                           II I rose off the ground.

 I crashed through the ceiling                                              

 floating into the sky                                  
With a mouthful of pudding                                            

and a handful of pie

But, I managed to yell                                                      as I soared past the trees...

Happy eating to all                                                       pass the cranberries, please.

Fact Or Fiction

People are getting really desperate due

to  the constantly rising gas prices. A

woman   used her credit/debit card to

purchase gas at the pump. She received

her receipt like normal. However, when

she checked her statement, there were 2

$50 charges added in addition to her

purchase. Upon investigation, she found

out that because she did not press the

'clear' button on the pump, the employee

inside the store was able to use her card

to purchase his/her own gas! To keep this

from happening, after you get your

receipt, you must press the 'CLEAR'

button or your information will be stored

until the next customer inserts their card.

FICTION: According to Snopes.com,

once you replace the hose into the pump,

the transaction is terminated and is

readied for the next purchaser.
