Where’s That Thanksgiving Turkey?

I know the wife bought a turkey.  But where on earth did she put the
bird?

Perhaps the question should be – ‘Who is
the
Thanksgiving Turkey?’

Whilst this funny Thanksgiving turkey picture works with either a caption of ‘Christmas’ or ‘Thanksgiving’; it is not nearly so funny if you substitute ‘chicken’
for ‘turkey’.

Now Where is That Turkey?

Two pilgrims go out hunting. One has two blunderbusses.

The second pilgrim asks, ‘Why do you have two blunderbusses?’

The first pilgrim explains, ‘I usually miss the first time I shoot. By
taking two I can shoot again.’

The second pilgrim thinks for a while and then says, ‘Why not just take
the second one, and only shoot once?’

six legs!’
They all asked the farmer how it tasted.

‘I don’t
know, ‘said
the farmer, ‘I never could catch it!’

Most Difficult Bird to Cook

Louise was away from home on
Thanksgiving Day for the first time and she was missing her home and family desperately. Louise
decided to cook a turkey herself, just like her Mum used to, so that she could feel closer to her family.

Louise returned home for the celebrations and recounted her experience to her Mum saying,
‘Mum. it was so difficult to eat the turkey.’

‘Why was that, dear’ asked Mum in a concerned way, ‘was it not cooked properly?’

‘How would I know?’ responded Louise, ‘it wouldn’t sit still.’

 Two Turkeys Meet

Beware the Turkey?

To borrow a line from WC Fields: ‘Never work with children, animals, or
Thanksgiving turkeys’.

The above funny Thanksgiving picture marked the 61st anniversary of the National Thanksgiving
Turkey presentation.  Live Thanksgiving turkeys have been presented to
presidents since the days of Abe Lincoln.  However, the current form of
the ceremony dates back to President Harry Truman in 1947.

Thanksgiving Turkey
Competition

A Minnesota man basted a 72-pound turkey to defeat his sister in their annual
sibling rivalry over who can prepare the biggest Thanksgiving bird. Rich Portnoy
roasted his enormous turkey in his 36-inch-wide, chef-calibre oven on
Thanksgiving Day to top the biggest bird his sister had ever cooked by 25
pounds. Big turkeys are a tradition in the Portnoy family. Rich Portnoy said his
father cooked birds of 30 pounds or more years ago. Last year, Andra Portnoy
cooked a 47-pounder to take the lead after her brother could only find a
37-pounder, even though he lives in the nation’s top turkey-producing state.

This year, Rich Portnoy approached the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association,
which helped him find an 85-pound breeding tom that, at 59 weeks old, was near
the end of its useful life. He bought the turkey for $30, [£58GBP] loaded the
live bird into the back of the family’s car and drove it to a processor, where
it was made oven-ready at 72 pounds. Portnoy and his wife, Charlene, invited 26
people to Thursday’s feast. They weren’t sure the big old tom would be edible,
so Portnoy also cooked a 19-pound ‘backup turkey’ on the backyard grill.

Turkey Funnies

The turkey is a funny bird
Its head goes bobble-bobble;
And all he
knows is just one word…
And that is gobble-gobble.
