This is my favorite holiday. I get to take over the kitchen for a week and be creative. It's also the time that I get to share some of the "help" calls that are received by the Butterball Hotline. These folks handle over 100,000 calls a year for assistance with all things turkey ... and you know that most of them are simple calls with simple answers. However, there are others ...
A woman called to find out how long it would take to roast her turkey. To answer, the Talk-Line home economist asked how much the bird weighed. The woman responded, "I don't know, it's still running around outside."
A restaurant owner in California wanted to know how to roast a turkey for a vegetarian menu.
A Kentucky woman was in trouble when she called the Turkey Talk-Line. While preparing the turkey, her Chihuahua jumped into the bird's body cavity and couldn't get out. She tried pulling the dog and shaking the bird, but nothing worked. She and the dog became more and more distraught. After calming her down, the Talk-Line home economist suggested carefully cutting the opening in the cavity of the turkey wider. It worked and Fido was freed!
Roasting a turkey doesn't have to interfere with the daily routine, so said a retired Floridian. He called ''Turkey Central'' for turkey grilling tips while waiting to tee off from the 14th hole.
Taking turkey preparation an extra step, a Virginian wondered, ''How do you thaw a fresh turkey?'' The Talk-Line staffer explained that fresh turkeys aren't frozen and don't need to be thawed.
White meat, anyone? A West Coast woman took turkey preparation to extremes by scrubbing her bird with bleach. Afterward, she called the Talk-Line to find out how to clean off the bleach. To her dismay, she was advised to dispose of the turkey.

Two piggies walk into a bar, get drunk and ask, ''Where's the bathroom?'' The bartender points to the door and they rush in.
Two more piggies walk into a bar. They soon get drunk and they ask, ''Where's the bathroom?'' The bartender points to the door and they rush in.
One piggy walks into a bar. He gets drunk out of his mind and then heads for the exit. ''Hey, buddy! Don't you wanna know where the bathroom is?'' says the bartender.
''No, thanks,'' the piggy slurs, ''I always go WEEWEEWEE all the way home!''

A foursome of senior golfers hit the course with waning enthusiasm for the sport. "These hills are getting steeper as the years go by," one complained. "These fairways seem to be getting longer too," wheezed a second.
"And somehow, the sand traps seem to be bigger than I remember 'em too," said the third.
Hearing just about enough from his buddies, the oldest and wisest of the foursome at 87-years-old, piped up and said, "Just be thankful we're still on THIS side of the grass!"
