This may be a wee bit late for Thanksgiving, but is worth keeping for
the next year :) And, of course, there are those who have their turkey
(or goose) on Christmas... What a cruel, cruel joke to play on one's
offspring (or anyone else, for that matter) <g>
From: R.H.
One year at Christmas my mom went to my sister's house for the
traditional
feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a
trick.
She told my sister that she needed something from the store.
When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed
the
stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and
re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.
When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the
oven
and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit
something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.
With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia,
you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying
news, my
sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her
that
turkeys lay eggs.
