A Thanksgiving tale

A man ran into the butcher shop just before closing on the day before Thanksgiving. “You’ve got to help me,” he said. “I told my wife I’d bring home a turkey for tomorrow’s dinner, and I forgot! Do you have any turkeys left?”

“Well, I’ll see,” the butcher said, and he went into the walk-in fridge. He found only one thin, scrawny turkey, and he brought it for the customer to look over.

The man shook his head. “Are you sure you haven’t got anything else?”

Hiding his irritation, the butcher headed back to the walk-in fridge, taking the turkey with him. There were no others, so after a few minutes he brought the original turkey out again. “Took me a while, but I found this one.”

The customer sighed. “All right. I’ll take ’em both.”
