What a turkey!

I worked for a very kind but forgetful guy who used to give all his staff a 14lbs. turkey for Christmas.
Yes, a 14lbs. turkey, frozen solid on Christmas Eve afternoon.
Some of us who had heard of this practice bought our own turkey and kept our Christmas Bonus for New Year's Day.
The rest had to resort to various unorthodox means to defrost the wretched bird so that they could sit down to dinner on Christmas Day
