The pro football team had just finished their daily practice session
when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players

demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught
pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When
the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, "You're
terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you
get a huge bonus." "Forget the bonus," the turkey said, "All I
want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?"
