If you don't have a sense of humour you may not want to read this!
A turkey says to his pal the bull "I'd love to get to the top of that tree"
The bull says " Why don't you nibble on some of my droppings? they are full of nutrients and you should be strong enough to reach up there quite soon."
So the turkey gobbles up some of the bulls waste every day for the next week.
By then he is proudly perched in the top of the tree.
Unfortunately the farmer spots him and shoots him out of the tree.
Moral of this story :
Bull**** might get you to the top,
but it won't keep you there!

Cute and true.
Have you heard the one about the happy little bird who just did not want to fly south and by the time he headed out, it was cold and snowing and his little wings coated in ice and he fell to the ground.
He landed in a barnyard and was soon covered in Horse **** when a horse went by. Now that is terrible, but soon he realized he was warm and thawed out, so he began to sing and sing. Well the farm cat came by and dug him out and ate him up.
Now the moral,
1) even if you are covered in s*** but you are warm and happy, keep your mouth shut.
2) everyone who S***s on you is not necessarily your enemy and those who dig you out are not necessarily your friend.

Usually since my husbands family is so big we usually have 2 turkeys for thanksgiving (a regular one and a smoked one) and we usually have a ham but the turkey is the star of thanksgiving. On christmas we usually have 2 hams and one turkey so the ham is the star of christmas. On new years eve we usually do a big mexican dinner or something different.

Ha ha. to the story Sylvia. As for having turkey for Christmas...we haven't had turkey for quite a few years now. We don't have any family get togethers at Christmas and generally have anything for our Christmas Day dinner. One year we had fried egg and chips! Sometimes we have a nice piece of sirloin steak each with mushrooms, egg and chips or gammon steak or something else. Our Christmases are very relaxed and no-one has to spend all of Christmas Eve preparing and cooking all day the next. Even the smallest turkeys are too big and we tend to waste more than we eat so we don't have one.

I absolutely despise ALL turkeys. Why? Many years
ago, I rented a house where
the back door was next to
a fence and on the other side
were 2,000 Turkeys!!! It was
gobble/gobble/gobble all day long. I couldn't open my door
or they all rushed over.
Domesticated turkeys are
extremely stupid. Look into
those beadie little eyes and
see--they have no brain!
I think if I eat something that
stupid, it will make me stupid
also.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha. I liked that, and too, too true.
Turkey--10 lbs if just myself and I want lots of leftovers. Two 10-pounders if all the clan will be around, and my sister cooks them. One year we decided to raise turkeys. Bought 12 of the little beggers. Two died early on, but the remaining 10 flourished, and what a hoot. We learned early on not to name anything we were going to eat, but we still enjoyed the critters. I dropped a big tomato worm in their pen, and it was like watching football. One would grab it and run, and another would grab it running the other direction and the game was on. They were allowed to roam our 10 acres during the day, and we grained them in their pen at night. By Thanksgiving, they were 22-26 pounds! Could hardly find anybody with an oven large enough for them. But man, were they good!

Bull**** keeps the world spinning.
My turkey will be about 8 - 10 pounds as I only have two people to sit at my table. A 75 y/o neighbor lady and me.

About 9 to 10 ponds for 4 of us. I must admit it does a few meals and I tend to suffer from Turkey hatred after St. Stephen's day (Boxing Day)

Sometimes I wonder. Yeah tell that to Georgie Boy. Anyway...
I go to my niece's house and let her cook it.
I remember when I was a little girl my father won a 40 pound turkey at a turkey shoot and my mother cooked it and we ate turkey for days. Turkeys were a lot bigger in those days.

That was so cute, I loved it.
As of right now, it will be a small Turkey. I think there might only be 5 of us for Thanksgiving dinner unless some of the rest of the family members are coming.

How very true.
The turkey we had for Thanksgiving(I am Canadian) was about 8 kg(17lbs)
The one for Christmas will be about the same. Got a great price on turkeys this year......99 cents a pound. We bought 3 to keep us going for the year.
