The Wednesday Smile is intended to help you get through the work week, but with Thanksgiving, this work week can significantly shorter than most (though a lot of people still have plenty of work to do, this birder included!). Still, these turkey-themed jokes can give you something to smile about and help make work or a tense family dinner situation a little bit lighter – so gobble them up! Happy Thanksgiving!
