A mans method of cooking a Turkey -Dave.

The short story Dave Cooks the Turkey, by Stuart McLean's, describes many different types of humorous acts when Dave's wife gives him a task to cook a turkey for Christmas dinner. For example: situational comedy, situations we can relate to, and creative humorous, description. Situations that we can relate to are when most men are given a task like, "cooking a turkey". They often don't think of what it all involves. They just know that they have to take care of something that was told of them. "...looking after the turkey" meant going out, buy it, prep and then cook it. When the epiphany occurred that he had to do more than cook, at the last minute , he went out to frantically find a turkey. After locating a turkey, he could not figure out how to use the oven and shortly after got frustrated, "looking at the turkey. It was propped on a kitchen chair like a naked baby," then says, "come on, Butch." "[His] Turkey looked like it have a break from the slaughter house and dragged itself a block or two before it was captured and beaten to death." What kind of man would "[uses] an electric blanket and a hair dryer" to thaw a turkey?
