Very Stuffy

It may not be polite to say it but around thanksgiving you hear it a lot, the expression “I am stuffed.”  Maybe I am being a stickler for logic but really, the battle is to preserve the English language. So when I had enough to eat I should probably say something like “Thank you, but I had enough.” That would make sense. I should not say “I am  dressed.” That does not make sense, unless you are in a nudist camp. Yet for the turkey it would be quite in order to admit that he is stuffed. Because that is true. I stuck the apple and the giblets in myself. I stuffed him, and then I tell the guests to eat some of the dressing. That does not make sense, either. I did not dress the turkey. He comes the way he was born, figuratively speaking, only more tanned. If that is confusing let us, in addition to the thanksgiving dinner rolls make two thanksgiving dinner rules: 1. Come on time and dressed. 2. Serve the turkey, also on time but stuffed.  Or better even: serve ham.
