"I've never had the pleasure of that experience," She responded after her laughter had abated, "But I've made a fool of myself in the kitchen once or twice. My ex-boyfriend and I spent Thanksgiving together a few years back, and I volunteered to do the turkey. Now, considering my history, I don't to this day know what sparked that spontaneous act of altruism on my part, since I'm a notoriously horrendous cook, but I ended up doing the bloody thing just the same. I shoved it into his ceramic oven on a rack and dutifully basted the thing for about an hour or so and had just popped off to the bar to make myself a drink, when I hear this enormous BANG from the kitchen."
"So I scurry back to the kitchen and open the oven and I discover that the turkey had exploded. Lovely mess it made, too, now that I think about it. We ended up going out and getting carry-out Chinese because we couldn't find any other open restaurants."
"But why, you ask, did the damned thing explode? Because, you see, I had forgotten to extract the little gut-bags that reside in every frozen turkey -- this one was no exception, as I learned -- before I stuffed it."
