True Friends Toss Your Turkey

For Thanksgiving, the last couple of years I have cooked a turkey for the homeless. This year, my mom was in the ER and I was not able to cook the turkey in time. I called to say that I was really sorry and the person I called said it wasn't a big deal (there would be enough food) so just keep the turkey and cook it for yourself. Um, okay, I did feel bad but what could I do? The date the turkey would expire was November 28th and I planned to cook the turkey on November 26th.

On November 26th I opened the refrigerator and it stank! The turkey went bad early. The trash had just been picked up so I couldn't just throw it in there and let it stink for a week. I left it in the fridge. On the 28th I couldn't take it any longer. I put the turkey in a plastic trash bag and went to pick up an accomplice, we would dispose of the turkey somewhere.......

Shortly I after I picked her up, my accomplice discovered that a stinky turkey was in the back seat of the car. I explained my predicament and as expected the accomplice gladly participated. Proof is provided below:

I would like a post on this day next year to get an update on how many times over the next year you used the acronmy TFTYT. It's a keeper, Miss #2 on Google Search.

OMG I don't know which is funnier - the acronym, the story, or QB's comment!

The secret to eliminating your offending aroma out putter would have been to place your pre-maturely expired turkey in the FREEZER. Instant stink stop. You would then place the frozen glob of pew in the trash the night before pick-up. By the time the frozen emitter reaches its final resting spot it has returned to its stinky self and is now among friends. Lessons from the sea.

BTW, did anyone see the news article about the neighbors who contacted police about an offending smell coming from a dumpster. Police responded believing it was a dead body only to find it was an overly ripe turkey. Local Law Enforcement has promised a swift conviction in this case of illegal dumping and air quality abuse. Stay tuned to this high profile matter.

This is more dumb than all the guesses from yesterday.

VERY nice. At least hose dumpsters get emptied often!

I guess I will never be a true friend!

Couldn't you have parked a little bit farther away from the dumpster?
