My wife is convinced that I'm a vegetarian because of the way my family prepares meat--EVERYTHING is "well done". She says I never learned what I was missing, so it doesn't bother me. 
My wife cried after the Thanksgiving we spent at my aunt's house because the turkey was so dry and overcooked.

There is nothing worse than overcooked Turkey or Chicken. It's like eating splinters. I would have cried too, especially as Thanksgiving is one of those days men fast before stuffing themselves into oblivion...
