“Oh look, the neighbor bought a turkey, we should help him carry it…”

22.2

“Excuse me sir, out of the goodness of our hearts, and with no ulterior motives whatsoever, my sister and I would like to help you carry that turkey.”

My two turkeys and I have another long road trip on the docket tomorrow so they’ve got plenty of extra beach time in the past few days.

Extra beach time? Penny jumps for joy

22.4

“Hey Frank, before we leave, you sure you don’t need help with that turkey?”
