The president of the United States traditionally pardons one turkey just before Thanksgiving. American television host and comedian Conan O’Brien posted this joke on Twitter on November 26, 2013:

Wikipedia: Thanksgiving National Turkey Presentation
The National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation is a ceremony that takes place at the White House every year shortly before Thanksgiving. The president of the United States is presented with a live domestic turkey by the National Turkey Federation (NTF), usually males of the Broad Breasted White variety. (...) During the Presidency of George H. W. Bush, it became a tradition (since carried on by all of Bush’s successors) for the president to issue a ceremonial “pardon” to the turkey.
