Speaking of turkeys...

I just returned home about an hour ago from working my 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. shift helping with my Rotary Club's fundraiser. Each fall at the local fall festival we sell turkey legs. Looks like we'll sell at least 2,000 legs at $5 @ again. Some customers we hand left turkey legs and some right. Nobody complains, though, because they're huge darkened legs.

We buy them pre-cooked and frozen by the case. Our job is to put them on large cookers and bring them up to proper temperture and darken them like most customers want.

I've done this once every year since 1990 when I first joined Rotary International. All of our profits (usually between $4,000-$5,000) are awarded to high school seniors for college scholarships.

Okay...what would be the difference between a left or right turkey leg?

Everyone knows turkeys are ALL left handed so to say, so when they take off they push off with that left leg which makes them more muscular and a little tougher and stringy. Kinda like your dominant arm is a little bigger and stronger.

Just kidding TJ, But I do want to know the answer to your question too.

So if geese come in gaggles, and crows are a parliament, and other birds are flocks...are turkeys a bunch? What a bunch of turkeys!

Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha!

Sorry...couldn't resist...
