Here's how to win hearts at the Thanksgiving table

Stand at the dinner table and proclaim: "Today we give thanks for the word 'squash'—an abbreviation of the Narragansett word 'asquutasquash'."

Then sit down to thunderous applause.


(Optional addition: "We also need to acknowledge the mistakes of our ancestors—for their blunders still haunt us today. [pause] I'm referring to the invention of creamed spinach.")
