    Thanksgiving is almost here, and that typically means a day of delicious food and good times with family and friends. Sometimes, though, not all of the day's events go according to plan. Family members may fight, your football team may not win, and the food, well, let's just say the dishes served can occasionally disappoint. If any of this happens to you, just know you are not alone. Here are some funny Thanksgiving Day disasters to be thankful for.

    Warning: If you decide to skip the home cooking this year and go out for Thanksgiving dinner, you may find that the sweet potatoes are not as sweet as you'd like.

    If you do choose deep-frying over roasting for your turkey this Thanksgiving, have a few fire extinguishers handy.

    "OK, folks, we're going to demonstrate how to properly deep-fry a turkey. They make us wear these fireman suits in case anything goes wrong, but it's silly. Nothing ever goes wrong."

    A good rule of thumb for Thanksgiving is to keep the dinner table free of any meta-turkeys or loaves of any kind.
