Well, apparently the turkey explosion happened while BIL was laying prone under the kitchen sink trying to fix said plumbing issue. The fall was related to the turkey explosion (just how does one get a Thanksgiving turkey to explode in the oven, anyway?), whether out of startlement or slippery floor, I'm not certain. I'm just glad SIL and BIL were there to help!
The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.
