Ah, Ben Franklin. Considering what I've learned about how he liked the wenches, I wouldn't be surprised if the above story was actually true.

It's Thanksgiving! So, based on my instructions on how to create a Thanksgiving carol, here's one for you to sing today at the meal:

Oh, giblet tree, oh giblet tree,

You stand there, so disgusting.

Oh giblet tree, oh giblet tree,

You stand there, so disgusting.

Don't really know what giblets are

So that's a creepy looking star.

Oh giblet tree, oh giblet tree,

You stand there so disgusting.

Safe travels to those of you on the road, and hope you spend the day surrounded by family and friends.
