Hell in a handbasket

The other day I heard someone say "he is going to hell in a handbasket". I remember this saying from my childhood. It confused me then and confuses me still.

What size does the handbasket have to be to fit a guy inside?

Would it still be considered a handbasket if you can't carry it?

Would the handbasket burn up as it got close to hell which is supposed to be all fire and brimstone?

Who would stuff the guy in that handbasket?

Who is going to carry the handbasket to get this guy there? You want to be on the committee? Where do you take it?

The devil must have a whole closet full of handbaskets if you can go to hell in one.

Let's talk turkey

Fact: Turkey poop to help fuel new power plant. [Karnowski, AP, Benson, Minn]

Ever wonder what happens to all those turkey eggs? Ever ate one? Where do they go?

Turkey eggs taste just like regular old hen's eggs, just bigger. I can only remember eating one or two in my life when I was a just a kid, Mom scrambled them. Of course, you can't use them in a recipe because you'd have to figure out how to divide it..most recipes call for hen's eggs. Ok, this calls for 3 hen's eggs so that means it is one or is it one and one-half turkey eggs? Quick, somebody call a ph.D. with a calculator!!

It seems that the turkey industry uses the eggs to make, get this, MORE turkeys!!After all, Thanksgiving is right around the corner!

Spring is here!!



If you haven't seen it before, here is a cute picture of a baby mockingbird waiting for mamma to come back with a great big fat juicy worm. He better get it while he can because mamma will kick him out in a week to fend for himself!
