The meat thermometer is kind of an inside joke - not really a very funny one though. One year DH's parents were making chicken or turkey or something and weren't sure whether it was done. So I suggested that they test it with a meat thermometer to see. Turns out they didn't own a meat thermometer - which totally blew my mind.
Of course, that fact also explained why the food was usually overcooked and dry as a bone.
We gave them a meat thermometer one year - and found out later that my FIL had been using it to check the temperature of the radiator fluid in his car.
So there you go.

hmmm...it sounds like a meat thermometer could be a very utilitarian tool.
