PREGNANT TURKEY
>>
>>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!
