Turkey what?!?!
Sitting at church discussing the "rules" for lent. The discussions went something like this:
"Father, does chicken count as meat during the Fridays of Lent?"
"Yes, chicken is meat. And that also means that you can't go putting ham bones or turkey necks in your stew."
"Father, I've eaten a lot of weird things in my eighty-three years, but never, never, have I ever eaten soup with turkey nuts."
Father turns bright red and promises to speak clearly in the future. The rest of the group decides that we will be far more cautious at parish potlucks.
