Dag Gone General Cieli your making me hungry
I may run out and buy a turkey after seeing that picture above
Few years ago my wife bought a turkey and it was my job to cook it as she was working
She fixed it all up and started cooking it , and after that it was my job to watch it
After about an hour or so the element went out on the oven
I called her , and she said try and call your sister , and use their stove
I did and my brother in law told me to bring it on down
When I got to their house after dark , I grabbed the turkey and pan from the car , and went running down the gravel driveway with it
Down a steep gravel hill
I tripped and went running faster down the hill
I tried to out run the fall but couldn't...down I went , and slid a long way in the gravel down the hill before I stopped
Skinned myself all up....but I held the turkey and pan up in the air , and didn't drop it and saved the day
I knocked on the door and my brother in law looked at me and said what happened to you , as I was all skinned up
I told him I fell in the gravel on the hill
First thing he said was " Did you drop the turkey " ???
I said no I saved it
He put it in the oven and an hour or so later , my sister came in , and she said what in the world happened to you ???
I said I fell on the gravel hill out side when I was bringing the turkey in
First thing she asked was " Did you drop the turkey " ???
I said no the turkey is fine I saved it
Then an hour later my wife called to ask had I brought the turkey back to put in the oven
My brother in law told her yes.....but he fell when he was getting out of the car and slid in the gravel and skinned his self all up
First question my Wife asked was " Did he drop the turkey " ??
LOL
Every time time since then , when I see a turkey like the picture above..........I think of that story
And I wonder , had I ended up in intensive care , and when they came to see me , would the first thing they would have asked was...... " Did you drop the turkey " ???
True story..........cant make this stuff up
We all had a good laugh about it later
But I wasn't laughing when I was sliding down that gravel hill for a long way
Holding the pan with the turkey in it , up in the air
If I could have gotten that on Video , I surely would have won the prize for the funniest video on TV LOL
It would have made my skinning my self all up go down a little more easy
