It’s getting close to Thanksgiving, so I thought I’d start the celebrations early with a few turkey related tales from www.guy-sports.com. Read below for two really funny stories.
Six Legged Turkey
An industrious turkey farmer was always experimenting with breeding, his mission was to produce the perfect turkey. His family was fond of the leg portion for dinner and there were never enough legs for everyone.
The farmer even tried breeding turkeys with other animals. After many frustrating attempts, the farmer related to his friend Zeb the results of his latest experiment, which involved introducing octopus genes into a turkey.
‘Well I finally did it! I bred a turkey that has six legs!’ Said the farmer. Zeb could not resist enquiring, ‘how did the turkey meat taste?’.
‘I don’t know, ’said the farmer, ‘I haven’t caught the bird yet!’

The Tale of the Pregnant Turkey
One year at Thanksgiving, my brothers and I were invited to my sister Jenny’s house for the traditional feast.
Knowing how gullible my sister is, we decided to play a practical joke. My two brothers lured Jenny outside to check out some trees at the bottom of the garden.
As soon as Jenny left I took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, and replaced it with a partridge. Then I replaced the bird carefully in the oven.
Later, when the turkey was cooked my sister took the bird out of the oven and when it had rested she started to carve it. Then she decided to add the stuffing. Much to her amazement she found the partridge. At this point our mother piped up, “Jenny you’ve cooked a pregnant bird!” With this Jenny started to cry.
It took my brothers and I until early evening to convince Jenny that turkeys lay eggs, and don’t give birth to live young.
