It's the day before Thanksgiving, and the butcher is just locking up when a man pounds on the door. ©JOKEDEMO.COM

"Please let me in," says the man. "I forgot to buy a turkey, and my wife will kill me if I don't come home with one." ©JOKEDEMO.COM

"OK" says the butcher. "Let me see what's left." ©JOKEDEMO.COM

He goes into the freezer and discovers that there's only one scrawny turkey left. He brings it out to show the man. ©JOKEDEMO.COM

"That one's too skinny. What else have you got?" the man asks. ©JOKEDEMO.COM

The butcher takes the bird back into the freezer and waits a few minutes, then brings the same turkey back out to the man. ©JOKEDEMO.COM

"Oh no," says the man, "that one doesn't look any better. You better give me both of them."
