"Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the
Christmas turkey before us...a turkey which was no doubt a lively,
intelligent bird... a social being...capable of actual affection...
nuzzling its young with almost human-like compassion. Anyway, it's dead
and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family."
