A family had a pet turkey named Gus. Gus loved to watch TV. Whenever the family sat down to watch a football game, Gus would come and sit in front of the TV. He would bob his head up and down as if he was following the action on the screen. One time, during a particularly exciting play, Gus got so excited that he jumped on the coffee table. The family couldn't stop laughing at his enthusiasm for the game.
Well, there was this one turkey at a petting zoo. He was so friendly that he would follow the zookeeper everywhere. One day, the zookeeper was wearing a big hat. The turkey became obsessed with the hat. He kept pecking at it gently, as if he wanted to wear it. When the zookeeper finally took off the hat and put it on the ground, the turkey tried to put his head in it. It was hilarious to see the turkey with a big floppy hat on his head.
Here's one. A family was preparing a big Thanksgiving dinner and the turkey they had bought for the meal managed to escape. It ran into the neighbor's yard and hid among their pet chickens. When the family came to look for it, they couldn't tell which one was the turkey at first because the turkey was trying to blend in with the chickens by making chicken - like noises and movements. It took them quite a while to find the runaway turkey.
Sure. There was a turkey who loved to dance. Every time the farmer played music on his old radio, the turkey would start wiggling and twirling. One day, the radio fell and made a really loud noise. Instead of being scared, the turkey started dancing even more crazily, thinking it was a new kind of music.
Once, my family was having a turkey dinner. My little cousin thought the turkey's leg was a drumstick from a real drum and started banging it on the table, making everyone laugh.
On a particular farm, a turkey got into the farmer's house through an open door. Once inside, it discovered a mirror. Not knowing what it was, the turkey thought it was another turkey. It started to puff up its feathers and strut around in front of the mirror, trying to show off. When it didn't get a reaction from the 'other' turkey, it pecked at the mirror. The whole scene of the confused turkey in the house was extremely funny.
Once, a caller on the Butterball Turkey Hotline asked if they could stuff the turkey with a whole pumpkin instead of the traditional stuffing. It was so absurd and funny. The hotline operator patiently explained that it was not a good idea as it would not cook evenly and could cause a mess in the oven.
Joke: Why do turkeys always go, 'gobble, gobble'? Because they never learned good table manners! Story: A little girl named Sally had a pet turkey. She dressed it up in a tiny hat and a scarf. The turkey would waddle around the yard looking so funny that all the neighbors came to see it. It became the most famous turkey in the neighborhood.
A little turkey got separated from his flock during a thunderstorm. He ended up in a henhouse. The hens were all very confused by this strange visitor. The turkey, not knowing any better, started to imitate the hens. He tried to perch on the small roosts like them and even attempted to cluck. The hens were not too happy about this intruder at first, but soon they realized how silly the turkey looked and they all had a good laugh together.
Well, there was a naughty turkey. One day, the farmer's wife was baking pies. The turkey saw the open kitchen window and decided to have a peek. He hopped onto the windowsill and accidentally knocked over a bowl of flour. The flour covered him completely, and he looked like a white ghost - like turkey. Then he started running around the yard, scaring all the other small animals. The farmer came out and couldn't help but laugh at this comical scene.
One funny story could be about a caller who thought the turkey was supposed to be cooked in its plastic wrapping. They called the Butterball Turkey Hotline in a panic when they saw the plastic melting in the oven. Another might be a person who mistook the giblets for some sort of alien organ and called freaking out. And there could be a story of a family who tried to fit a 30 - pound turkey in a tiny oven and called for advice on how to make it work.
My mom was cooking a turkey and she got distracted by the phone. When she remembered the turkey in the oven, it was a bit overcooked. But we still ate it and joked about how it was 'extra crispy' and that it was a new 'cooking style'. We had a lot of fun with that tough turkey.
