Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays celebrated in the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia on various dates. It is known for a trademark feast full of amazing foods and is traditionally headed up by a big turkey. Moreover, what comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving? Gratitude? Nope. Jokes! These witty Turkey jokes will turn you into the life of the party.
There is historical evidence of a feast shared between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people in 1621. An event that has come to be known as the first Thanksgiving but it wasn’t the kind of Thanksgiving feast we might imagine today. There was no mashed potato stuffing or sweet pies for dessert and maybe most shocking of all there might not have been any turkey either. No one can say exactly when the turkey officially became the main course on the Thanksgiving menu but many point to a writer and activist named Sarah Josepha Hale – considered by many to be the person most responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday in the U.S and for making the turkey a mainstay of the menu. Since Turkey became a staple food in the 1800s to serve for feasts as they were super common, super easy to hunt, and big enough to feed a full family.

A young man inherited a fortune from his great-aunt, but there was a catch. He was required to care for her prized grey parrot as part of the terms of the inheritance. The executor informed him that if anything happened to the bird, or if he chose not to care for it, he would have to forfeit the inheritance and estate.
This seemed simple enough at first, but the animal proved to be unbearable. It bit him whenever he fed it, crapped on everything, and taunted him all the time. The parrot seemed to have a sixth sense of which buttons to press in order to get under his skin.
The man had had enough of the constant abuse after one particularly bad day. He yanked the parrot from its perch, pulled open the freezer door, and threw the creature inside, slamming the door shut behind it.
The muffled curses of the parrot continued, followed by a terrible shriek and then silence. The man became worried, fearing that his rage had cost the beast its life and him his new fortune.
After a brief pause, the parrot spoke again, this time with a meek apology. The man opened the freezer, surprised and relieved. The parrot was shivering in the cold. He extended his hand, and it gently climbed onto it. The parrot squawked as he looked him in the eyes, “Sir, please accept my apologies for my behavior. Since your aunt died, I haven’t been myself, and I’m afraid I’ve taken it out on you. Can you find forgiveness in your heart?”
The man nodded, surprised by the sudden change in the bird’s demeanor. The parrot sighed in relief and gazed back into the freezer. “If you don’t mind my asking, …what did the turkey do?”
