I Just Gave Away A Free Turkey!
Well, not just gave it away. It actually occurred over the weekend. Saturday night I showed up at a Christmas party just as it was ending. That was pretty awkward. But not nearly as awkward as when I took a whole smoked turkey out of my bag and presented it to the host. The four people still at the party were somewhat wary of me and the turkey, but they ate it anyway. It actually made for a pretty good conversation piece.
THEM: Hey, so you’re the guy who brought the turkey, huh?
ME: Sure am.
THEM: It’s pretty good. Smoky.
ME: Yup, that’s the mesquite.
THEM: So…you want some free gold?
ME: As a matter of fact, I would.
THEM: (Giving me gold) Here you go.
ME: (Quietly to myself, while pumping fist) Score!
It’s like I always say: If you’re going to show up just as a party is ending, make sure you bring some smoked meats. Guys, back me up, you know I ALWAYS say that.
