The Art of Thanksgiving Dinner

A young woman is preparing her first thanksgiving dinner. As she gets everything ready for Thanksgiving day, she very sternly reminds herself to let the turkey finish thawing in the sink overnight. She puts it in and places the dish rack over the top of the bird. Her husband walks into the kitchen and sees this.

"Why are you doing that?" he asks.

"My mom always did that to help the turkey thaw," she told him. 

The next day Mom calls to see how everything is going. 

"Fine, Ma. I have everything ready to go in the oven. I even remembered to put the rack over the turkey last night."

This seemed to confuse her mother a bit. "What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Oh, I remember you always put the dish rack over the turkey when it was thawing in the sink," she said.

And here was a pause on the end of the line. "Yes, but honey, we had cats!"

A disappointed young bride called Butterball’s Thanksgiving Turkey Talk-Line wondering why her turkey had no breast meat.

After a conversation with an operator, it became apparent that the woman’s turkey was lying on the table upside down.
