The Department of Homeland Security is hard at work, exercising their Constitutional mandate to educate us about... turkey fryers.

Thank God the government is here to do that for us. Can you imagine what horrors would ensue if we didn't have them around to tell us about these things?

I mean, we might actually have to start taking care of OURSELVES!!!

Oh, the humanity!

DHS issues Turkey fryer warning

The Department of Homeland Security is taking any threat seriously during the Thanksgiving holiday, including the ominous threat to our national security posed by turkey fryers.

"How dangerous can turkey fryers be?" asks a warning issued on the official DHS Twitter account. "Make sure the turkey is completely thawed before placing in a fryer, or this may happen."

The department linked to an ominous video highlighting the dangers of deep frying a turkey.

"Use turkey fryers outdoors at a safe distance from buildings." the DHS tweeted, "Never use turkey fryers in a garage or on a wooden deck."
