A bit of a wrench

A BIT OF A WRENCH

My wife's not vegetarian, but she gets squeamish about the business of killing meat or poultry.

Just before Christmas we went to our local farmer to choose a turkey, as we do every year.

As we were going in my mobile rang, so I told my wife to go in and pick out the bird while I took the call. When I walked in she was looking rather flustered and embarrassed as she pointed to a plump specimen and said "Do you think you could, er..., you know, get the bird, er..., well, ready for us to take home, if you see what I mean?"

The farmer looked a bit puzzled and said, "You want to take the bird home Madam? As a pet?"

"She means wring its neck, Mr Jones, if you would please," I said.

The farmers face lit up at this. "Ah, now we're torquing turkey!"
