It's
the day before Thanksgiving, and the butcher is just locking up when a man begins pounding on the front door.
'Please let me in, 'says the man desperately. 'I forgot to buy a
turkey, and my wife will kill me if I don't
come home with one.'
'Okay, 'says the butcher.'
Let me see what I have left.'
He goes into the freezer and discovers that there's
one last scrawny turkey left. He
brings it out to show the man.
'That's
one is too skinny. What else you got?'
says the man.
The butcher takes the bird back into the freezer and waits a few minutes and brings the same turkey back out to
the man.
'Oh, no, 'says the man, 'That one doesn't
look any better. You better give me both of them!'
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't
find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'
The stock boy answered, 'No
ma'
am, they're dead.'
Young Simon was sitting in his grandmother's kitchen, watching her prepare the Thanksgiving meal.
'What are you doing?' Simon enquired.
'Oh, I'm just stuffing the turkey,' his grandmother replied.
'Wow, that's cool.' Simon remarked. 'Are you going to hang it next to the deer?'
Be prepared
Grandma was showing the children a painting of the Pilgrim Family on a Thanksgiving Day card that they had received and she commented, 'The Pilgrim children enjoyed going to church with their mothers and
fathers and praying to God.'
Her youngest grandson looked at her doubtfully and asked, 'Then why is their Dad carrying that rifle?'
Indians and the Pilgrims
Nathan, a young boy, after hearing the story of Thanksgiving and how the Indians and the Pilgrims sat down together, climbed up into his father's lap and said, 'Daddy, did you know that if we were Indians,
you would be a brave and Mom would be a squawk?'
'That is the best description of your mother I have ever heard,' Nathan, replied his daddy as he ducked.

cross the road? Joey: It was the chicken's day off.
Crossing II Mary-Jo: 'Why do you think that the

their plane.'

The professional American football team had just finished their daily practice
session when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded to be given a chance to play at tight end.
Everyone stared in silence
as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, 'You're superb. Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you
get a huge bonus.'
'Forget the bonus,' replied the turkey, 'What I want to know is, does your season go past Thanksgiving Day?'
