I can't recall any mishaps, but I will tell a hilarious practical joke I played on my brother.....
3 Years ago I was making turkey and dressing for thanksgiving, and when I went shopping, I saw the cute little Cornish hens, so I bought one. Before my brother got there thanksgiving morning, I took the Cornish hen and stuffed the turkey with it, then tucked the bag back around the turkey and put it back in the fridge.
He and his wife were standing in the kitchen chit chatting when I took the turkey out of the bag and went to remove the giblets and instead removed a "baby turkey" (the Cornish hen) and remarked ohhh we must have got a pregnant one.. All day he told the entire family how cool it was that we got a pregnant turkey. No one bothered to steal his thunder and remind him TURKEYS LAY EGGS.
He called me the next day and called me names and laughed because his wife had finally told him what an idiot he looked like, and that turkeys don't have babies that way. The sad part is when I called my mom to tell her that he had finally figured it out, she thought we had got a pregnant turkey too!!
We bring up pregnant turkeys every chance we get. It's a sore spot with him, but always good for a laugh.
