Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, I got to thinking of some strange Thanksgivings I've had over the years. Since my life is pretty tame, I suspected that there were others out there that had stranger things happen, particularly when in came to frozen turkeys. Well, below are a couple of bizarre frozen turkey stories. Hope I'm able to garner a chuckle or two.
Don't swing your frozen turkey around in the grocery store! You may get in more trouble than you bargained for.
A California woman is suing for injuries she suffered when she was hit by a frozen turkey.
According to a lawsuit, the plaintiff was in the checkout lane at a grocery store in Medford two days before Thanksgiving—when she was struck by a 20-pound turkey.
A stocker at the store was trying to pass the turkey from one checkout lane to another. The stocker is being sued as being negligent in:
(a) In swinging the turkey about in an area where shoppers and others were present;
(b) In failing to look around before and during swinging the turkey;
(c) In failing to control his movements; and
(d) In failing to exercise caution while swinging the turkey."
The plaintiff is seeking $3,200 for medical expenses and an undetermined sum for pain and suffering.
Just make sure you watch out for swinging turkey in your local grocery store!
Don't ever try microwaving a frozen turkey while on the lam.
A Canadian fugitive who was on the lam for two years for murder was captured in New Mexico during a burglary when he attempted to cook a frozen turkey in an office microwave oven. Aparently he undercooked the turkey to where he was physcially sick. When he went to the restroom, he accidentally locked the door behind him and could not get out before the police arrived.
Just how badly do you want that last turkey for the dinner table?
Two women at a grocery store in South Wales grabbed for the last turkey at a store and got into a tussle with only one being the winner. Later in the parking lot, the woman who lost out on the turkey yelled at the older woman that she hoped she burnt the bird. The other woman didn't take kindly to her shouting and attacked the shopper, going as far as tearing out clumps of her hair.
Hmmm... I think I'll take ham instead.

Hmmmmmmm, a swinging turkey. The question is...Did the guy swing the turkey over his head like an upside down tether ball or was it more of a fast pitch softball kind of swing... behind him then out to the other checker???
I'm with Carol. I'll take the ham:)
