Give Thanks 
& 
Be Happy

Give Thanks

& 

Be Happy!

Sounds simple enough. 

So let's all give that a try. 

I'll start by listing three things 

for which I'm thankful: 

Chocolate, 

Comedy, 

& 

Hilarious Hotties with Hearts of Gold. 

(They don't all have to start 

with the same letter.) 

(I know those didn't all start 

with the same letter.) 

(I'm just saying 

they don't have to ...) 

So anyway, ... 

I'm Also Thankful For: 

Readers of my blog. 
(Even if I don't know who you are!)

The ImprovAddicts. 

(An improv troupe of which I'm a part.) 

My job. 

(The proceeds from which 

will help me change the world.) 

The pleasant people in my life. 

(Even when I don't have time to tell them that.) 

And apparently parentheses. 
(Just because the right one 
can make smiley faces!)

;o)

Your turn! 

What are three (or more) things 

for which you are thankful? 

All The Best,

Dean Burkey

Happy Thanksgiving!

by
Dean Burkey

Sadly, 
while we have plenty 
for which we can give thanks, 
this is still the holiday 
where greeting card companies wish 
they could establish a stronger foothold, 
so they too can give thanks.

And while we are indeed thankful 
for our many blessings in the US, 
we’re still hesitant to be too thankful 
on Thanksgiving Day; 
lest the IRS come after us 
on Tax Day. 

Thanksgiving, 
a time when our gratitude 
increases our latitude. 

Goodbye health regimen 
while we gorge, 
sit around watching parades, 
and nap until it’s time to devour tons of leftovers. 

But we have to fatten up, 
so we can stay in long lines 
to get crazy deals on Black Friday. 

Of course, 
the ones giving the most thanks 
are the turkey farmers. 

And if you’re not grateful, 
you must be a turkey. 

All the Best,

Dean Burkey

Woody Allen: 
As we know, 
for centuries Rome regarded the Open Hot Turkey Sandwich 
as the height of licentiousness; 
many sandwiches were forced to stay closed 
and only reopened after the Reformation. 
(From: “Thus Ate Zarathustra”)

Phyllis Diller: 
My cooking is so bad 
that my kids thought Thanksgiving 
was in memory of Pearl Harbor.

Dean Burkey: 
Not every turkey gets slaughtered on Thanksgiving. 
Many get elected to public office. 

Mitch Hedberg: 
If you go to the grocery store, 
you start to get mad at turkeys. 
You see turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami. 
Somebody just needs to tell the turkeys, 
“Man, just be yourselves!” 

Jerry Seinfeld: 
I will never understand why they cook on TV. 
I can’t smell it. Can’t eat it. Can’t taste it. 
The end of the show they hold it up to the camera, 
“Well, here it is. You can’t have any. 
Thanks for watching. Goodbye.”

How did a day set aside for offering thanks to for multiple blessings get reduced to our merely muttering Gobble-Gobble? 

Not every turkey is slaughtered for Thanksgiving. Many wind up in front of us in line on Black Friday. 

Thanksgiving, the day we give thanks that we can stuff our faces full of food. 

Great gravy! We can give thanks to God for our many blessings; and eat stuffing! Which gives another reason to give thanks. 

Sadly, the sanctity of Thanksgiving depends heavily upon the amount of whipped cream used to cover the pumpkin pie. 

We needn’t worry about gaining weight on Thanksgiving. Whatever weight we gain, we can walk off. Of course, that may involve our having to walk across the country. 

Thank you for reading my blog, 

have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Blessings & Joy,

Dean
