Turkey mistakes to avoid

[packman]

Some strange and memorable turkey Thanksgiving stories - like putting varnish over the roasting bird thinking it was melted butter and having everyone comment on the wonderful, brown glaze on the bird.

I remember my mother stumbling around with her bandaged foot , just having a bunion operation, in the kitchen a few days before Thanksgiving and dropping the frozen bird on her foot. We had hot dogs that Thanksgiving.

Living in the Washington, DC area a few decades back two radio personalities, Harden and Weaver, would have a funny Thanksgiving skit about stuffing a turkey with uncooked popcorn and putting a pickle up its butt. When the pickle blew open the oven door, you knew the turkey was done complete with popcorn stuffing.

1. Killing the animal in the first place

3. Makes it kind of tough to get a bite

if you have to chase it around the house.

4. Eat something else that isn't an animal

2. Just remember when you're doing your holiday cooking.

If you find one bag, keep on looking.
'cause there's two bags of guts in every bird!

7. Calling Istanbul, Constantinople

Giving a cop who wants a pay-off, a hundred dollars. (30 or 40 is enough)
