Mitch Hedberg’s Turkey Joke

Mitch Hedberg, one of the great standup comedians, had a joke about turkey, which I thought might be appropriate for Thanksgiving. He said that in the grocery store, we see turkey bacon and turkey sausage and turkey ham and turkey other stuff, and he said: “Hey, turkey: just be yourself.”

Mitch Hedberg is sadly dead now, another drug casualty. But his comedy lives on, and if you like standup comedy, there’s tons of his stuff to see for free on YouTube, and I would encourage everyone to go and see it. He was great. I really miss him. But I give thanks today that he was here to make us laugh. I wish he were here now. I'll bet he does too.
