TURKEY FIT

A newly wed English couple were looking forward to spending their first Christmas together. On the day, to the bemusement of her husband, the wife took the turkey and cut the bones out of the bird's legs before placing it in the oven. The husband asked her why she mutilated the bird and she explained that she was merely doing what her mother always did when preparing to roast a turkey. The couple had invited their parents for the Christmas meal and when they were all sat round the table, the wife took the opportunity to ask her mother why she cut the bones out of the turkey drumsticks. The mother replied: "Oh, that's because the oven at home was so small, it was the only way I could get the big bird in."
