But the fryer's thermometer was broken, and the oil inside got too hot, the workers said. The kettle started smoking and the lid rattled, as though the peanut oil inside had reached a boil.

3. Whoever thought up deep frying turkeys should have to do 1000 hours of

community service rebuilding burned out houses.

4. whoever thought of the design of those fucking things

should go along with them.

It surely wasn't an engineer.

6. It's OK - You just have to be smarter than the dead bird inside it

Like using portable generators inside the garage - the stupid will die.

7. Propane heaters inside a duck blind......and then when the duck blind

catches fire running out and leaving the LOADED shotgun behind.

5. What a bunch of morons.

Don't they know you're supposed to coat the bird in cornflakes first?

8. LOL, and afterwards they were getting ready to do it again!

Some people are just beyond stupid. It is stupid shit like this that makes me glad I'm not a firefighter anymore. I would hate like hell to get called out for something as dumb as deep frying a turkey.
