THE PREGNANT TURKEY


One Thanksgiving, my Mom went to my sister's house for the traditional
feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, Mom decided to play a trick.
She told my sister that she needed something from the store.

When my sister left, 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, our 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 nearly two hours to convince her that turkeys lay
eggs!
