Since it’s the day before Thanksgiving I have to use this story from TheKSBWChannel.com. It’s about how a frozen turkey became a life-saving device. This was just posted yesterday.

An elderly Illinois couple is hospitalized after being rescued from their burning car by a man who used his Thanksgiving turkey to break the windows. Mark Copsy said he rushed to help John and Juliana Brani, of Northlake, Ill., when he saw their car filling with smoke after it crashed into a curb Sunday afternoon. Copsy couldn’t open the door and couldn’t break the windows with his hands or feet, so the 20-pound frozen turkey had to do.

According to the story the elderly couple is in critical condition. It didn’t say if Copsy was planning on having “smoked” turkey or whether the turkey is still edible. I guess it’s just another reason to shop for turkey. You never know when one’s going to come in handy.
