“How do you prepare your turkey for Thanksgiving?”/“Oh, I just tell him he’s going to die.”
“Preparing” a turkey usually means cooking instructions, but not according to a Thanksgiving/Christmas turkey joke. This was posted on the newsgoup Google Groups: alt.humor on December 21, 2002:
“May I take your Christmas lunch order?” the waiter asked.
“Yes, but first i’d like to know how do you prepare your turkeys?”
“Nothing special sir,” he replied. “We just tell them straight out that they’re going to die.”
“The best way to prepare a turkey for thanksgiving ; look at him straight in the eye and tell him he is going to die 🙁” was posted on Facebook by Januario Enriquez on November 17, 2010.
“How does this restaurant prepare the chicken?” is a similar joke.
