Turkey Tight End?A professional NFL team, the Philadelphia Eagles, had just finished their daily practice session when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded to be given a chance to play at tight end.
Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, 'You're superb. Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you get a huge bonus.' 'Forget the bonus,' replied the turkey, 'What I want to know is, does your season go past Thanksgiving Day?'
What Your Are Thankful For?
A little girl was told by her teacher to write an essay about why she was thankful, and what she was thankful for on Thanksgiving. Upon reading it, her teacher burst out in laughter. The title: "I'm really glad I'm not a turkey."

Family Together At The Holidays
A man in Tampa calls his daughter Sue in California before Thanksgiving and announces to her that he and his wife are getting a divorce after fifty years of marriage. "What? You can't do that!" exclaimed the daughter. "Yes, we can't stand each other. Irreconcilable differences and all. We really hate even seeing the other. We're glad to be done and I don't want to talk about it. Please let your sister and brother know since I don't want to talk about it any more." The daughter frantically calls her sister and brother, both of whom also explode and vow that their parents won't be getting a divorce now. Sue calls back her father and tells him "There's no way you're getting divorced. We're coming there tomorrow to sort this thing out. Don't do or say anything to mom before we get there." As she hangs up the phone, her father turns to her mother and says, "Okay, they're all coming for Thanksgiving and we don't even have to spend a dime."
Those Ancestors!
The Taylor's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had travelled to America with the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower. They had included Congressmen, successful entrepreneurs, famous sports people and television stars.
They decided to research and write a family history, something for their children and grandchildren. They found a specialist genealogist and writer to help them. Only one problem arose - how to handle Great Uncle Jefferson Taylor who was executed in the electric chair.
The writer said she could handle the story tactfully. When the book appeared the section about Jefferson read:
— Great Uncle Jefferson Taylor occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, he was attached to his position by the strongest of ties, and his death came as a great shock. Adopted from www.suite101.com
