The latest craze for Thanksgiving is deep fried turkeys. This HAD to have been invented in the South. They fry any and every thing in the South – and it usually tastes damn good, too.

The problem with deep frying turkeys is that you have to use a lot of very hot oil in a big pot that can tip over or spill over very easily. This usually causes someon’es house to burn down because these dumb rednecks don’t understand that hot oil spilled on a wood deck equals big fire. So if you are cooking a turkey in a big tub of hot oil, please use your brain and put it on a surface that cannot catch fire.
