Fun Fact: The average American consumes 4500 calories on Thanksgiving.
There’s nothing quite like stuffing three days worth of food in your face in one sitting, right? Sure, you might be stuck wearing sweatpants for a few days since your pants won’t button over your bloat. Or your digestive system will go into shock and revolt against you. Exciting side effect to look forward to? Explosive diarrhea.
Which leads to a Bonus Fun Fact: Thanksgiving is the busiest day for plumbers.
…. I think it’s a good time to come together and say a prayer for all of the plumbers out there who have to deal with a lot more gravy than what’s served on their plates this week.
The Shameful Sheep 
Makes you wonder if all the families with plumbers make sure they have Thanksgiving anywhere other than their own houses. Saves their plumbing and sends business booming. So to speak.
Haha! Yikes!
Little anecdote: A friend of my husband’s once had to call a plumber, as his system had the audacity to create a smelly mess in his basement. When the plumber arrived (wearing boots, as it was snowing . . . though maybe boots are always a good idea), my husband’s friend noted as the guy was checking out the scene that there was a hole in the back of one of the boots, and things were seeping onto his white (not for long) sock. As the plumber checked out the situation, he called out, “Somebody had corn last night for dinner.” My husband’s friend lurched out into the snow and . . . had an involuntary personal protein spill.
Hahahah that’s hilarious. Disturbing, but hilarious. That must have been embarrassing. Did you ever ask if the plumber was right? DID he have corn for dinner the night before? lol
Oh, he was definitely correct. Corn doesn’t digest well. 🙂
It’s pretty gross haha. I actually don’t eat it because it freaks me out. I’ve always figured if our bodies don’t digest it – we aren’t meant to eat it. lol.
OMG! Laughing my ass of in a Howard Johnson’s restaurant. (Remember them?). Lots of funny looks until I started showing g what you wrote! Made my day!
I’ve heard of a Howard Johnson hotel/inn… is there a restaurant in there? Haha. Nothing like a good poop joke to read over breakfast 🙂
See, this is why blogs are so great. I had no idea that HoJo’s were even still in business.
Hilarious!
Hee hee, interesting connection
That’s made my day in more ways than one. Fortunately, I won’t be needing a plumber. If we did have a blockage, it could be disastrous as we have a Klargester and well, it doesn’t bear thinking about. My day wouldn’t be complete without mentioning poo.
I’ve never heard of a Klargester. It sounds like something you’d say to someone when they sneeze. Haha. And, I find myself talking about poo a bit too much. But it’s funny, right? I’m glad poo makes your day haha.
It is the poo machine at the far end of the garden. It gobbles it up, the bacteria does its work and hey presto, water goes into the stream and off to the river and the sludge is emptied once a year. It is a fascinating piece of machinery.
You are not alone. It doesn’t take me long before I’m talking about poo although I also like Pooh.
Aw, who doesn’t love poo? I mean Pooh.
You are cheeky.
Ohhh, it’s a septic tank. I learned something new. Thank you. And Google.
Similar to a septic tank but used when a septic tank does not meet the requirements set out by the Environment Agency. I think Klargester is a good name for a Butler.
No gravy for thanksgiving!
I have already planned out my sweat pants for the rest of the week. There will be NO JEANS!!
That’s how it should be!
Thank you – just added a new verb to my vocabulary. Looked up ‘to bogart’ in the urban slang dictionary. Actually, I thought it was going to be something worse. Imagination in overdrive.
Hahah. Nice. My family thinks I’d be better off writing about educational things than inappropriate ones. Now, I’m going to direct them to your comment and show them at least one person learned something.
Oh I used to LOVE my sweat pants.
Now I can only eat so little, I don’t need to worry about forcing food into my belly and intestines so my tummy swells!
Yet another silver lining to the surgery 😉
Love it!! I think I may even share this….
Oh and thanks for following my blog. I love people who love reading my blog. I love comments and am happy to chatter on with anyone.
I’ll be sure to stop by and talk your ear off in the future 🙂
Sure thing! Anytime!
Man, I like you. Always looking at the brighter side of life.
Gotta stay positive, you know?
Happy Thanksgiving from the other side of The Pond!
Thanks! 🙂
You always paint such a vivid picture! Real life … don’t you just love it!
Haha that’s what I aim for. Life is messy 🙂
Phunny!! 🙌🏻
4500 Calories? Ai Carumba!
Ewwww….its funny…😂😂😂😂😂
It’s always the croissants in my house.
Hahaha gross.
You posts are hilarious and sometimes the only bit of adult conversation I have all day (yeah, I know, gotta work on that). Thanks for being so blunt and funny.
That means so much to me. Thank you!
Sooo funny! and glad we don’t have Thanksgiving in Australia but I’ll be thinking of this post in about a month’s time 🙂
