Thanksgiving Turkey Blunders................

Here are some ideas as to what clueless cooks have asked the fine folks at Butterball's Turkey HotLine over the years at this time of year.........

~~People over the years have asked the following........"Is it possible to pop popcorn in the turkey's cavity during the roasting process?" :shock:
~~One bright genius wanted to know if he could use motor oil as a turkey baste; another needed help finding the turkey she'd buried in a snowbank, and another genius wanted to know, "How do I carve the turkey with a chain saw?" :lol: :shock: :shock: :shock:
~~On one occasion, a concerned citizen called to ask how to get her pet Chihuahua out of the turkey; apparently, the little dog got trapped inside(and, no, it didn't get roasted along with the turkey...... :x :x :shock: )
~~Another person apparently cleaned the bird too well, calling to ask, "How do I get all the bleach off of the turkey?" :shock: :shock:
~~Another person who'd bought a 5-lb turkey had roasted it for over 24 hrs., wondering, "Is it done yet?" :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
~~Not to be outdone, someone else called to ask whether theirs' was done........it was an 8-lb bird that'd been in the oven since 8 am. the day before Thanksgiving :shock: :shock: :shock:
~~My favorite, though, was this gem of a question........"Your directions say to roast the turkey, but my oven only has settings for bake or broil; how do I set it?" :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock: :shock:

WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE, I'M BROKE

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be
Confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning, " said the young man. "If I could take a couple of
minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest
in high-powered vacuum cleaners." "Go away!" said the old lady.
"I haven't got any money! I'm broke!"
And she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and
Pushed it wide open. "Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you
have at least seen my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway
Carpet. "If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this
horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the
remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well I hope you've got a real
Good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning."
