Oven-Roasted Turkey?: Funniest F**king Thing I Heard All Day

Kate woke up to the smells of the Thanksgiving turkey slowly roasting in the oven. Because she's made it a *policy* to not cook Thanksgiving dinner, she cleans up. A policy her mother-in-law, GrandMere, is more than happy to employ.

So, when the dishwasher stopped running, she decided to make herself useful and empty it.

Kate: Umm, GrandMere?
GrandMere: [from other room] Yes?
Kate: Umm, the stuff in the dishwasher? I'm not sure about this...
GrandMere: Oh, leave it in there. It's not done yet.


Kate: Are you drinking?
GrandMere: Yes.
Kate: Uh, the dishwasher?
GrandMere: CLOSE THE DOOR!
Kate: [worried] It looks -uhhh - alarmed.
GrandMere: That's because I gave it a face. See?



The. End.
