My turkey has been frozen for a year and a half -- will it take longer to thaw?

I can't find it now, but I once read where the episode of "WKRP" from which this lines comes was voted the funniest sitcom episode. I recall as a kid seeing the episode. Great!! Thanks for the memory.

I bowl with turkeys at least once every 3 months ;) Seriously, they're quite good - I'm the one who actually got thrown out of a bowling alley years ago for lofting the ball too much.

I'm just getting used to the idea that they can shoot, now you want me to believe they can bowl?

That turkey drop episode was funny.

My favorite, and I still laugh when I think about it, was the episode where Mr. Carlson put 'foot powder' in his sock, then found out it might be cocaine, and was slapping his foot with the line: "O my God, I gotta monkey on my foot!" [I still ROF every time I think of that episode.]

I think WKRP was the funniest sitcom ever. The turkey eposide was without a doubt the best of them. There were so many good lines in that show.
