Thanksgiving Jokes:
The Phone Call

A retiree in Florida phones his daughter in New Jersey. “Honey, I have bad news. Your mother and I have decided that 52 years of marriage is enough. We’re calling it quits and getting a divorce.”

His daughter yells, “Are you crazy? What the heck are you saying?”

The father says, “We’ve had enough. We’re getting tired of the same old routine and looking at each other every day. And I don’t want to talk about it, so call your brother in Detroit and let him know.” And the line goes dead.

Panicked, the daughter phones her brother and drops the bomb.

“No way, no WAY!” shouts the brother. “This will NOT happen! Stay by the phone, I’ll handle this and call you back.”

He phones his father and says, “Sis just told me you’re getting a divorce. That’s CRAZY! No way we’re gonna let this happen. We’re both flying down there in the morning to sort this out. Don’t do anything till we get there, you hear me? Don’t do ANYTHING!”

The old man puts the phone back on the cradle and says to his wife, “It’s all arranged, Dear. The kids will be here tomorrow for Thanksgiving and they’re buying their own tickets.”

Ultimate Turkey Recipe

Here’s a killer turkey recipe, with a foolproof self-timer. It’s impossible to mess this up. You’ll get a perfectly cooked turkey every time.

Preheat the oven to 325. Prepare the turkey, basting it with salt, garlic, butter, and black pepper. In a bowl, combine equal parts stuffing mix and popcorn. (Yes, popcorn.)

Fill the turkey’s cavity with the mixture. Lay the turkey in a greased roasting pan.

Insert the turkey into the oven, with the neck pointing inward. This is very important.

Do not concern yourself with roasting time. When the turkey’s rear end blows the door off the oven, it’s done.
