About 2 AM on Thanksgiving morning  I stopped at a 7/11 in Huntley, Illinois to take a restroom break and to get a java refill. When I brought my coffee and snacks up to the counter the cashier tried to make small talk, and said:<strong><em> &ldquo;So did you just come from the Turkey Testicle Festival? &quot; </em></strong></p> <p>I said <strong><em>&ldquo;excuse me? Are you joking?&quot;</em></strong> He said, <strong><em>&ldquo;No, tonight was the Huntley Turkey Testicle Festival, right down the road.&quot;</em></strong> I started to walk away and turned to him and said, <strong><em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m really sorry I missed that! How unfortunate!&quot;</em></strong> as I walked out the door.</p> <p>Who the hell else but me would stop in a town with a Turkey Testicle Festival?  What are the odds? You can read about it <a href="http://www.huntleyblog.com/index.php/huntley-turkey-testicle-festival.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=252954">here</a>. Life can be really amusing sometimes&hellip; especially when turkey testicle festivals are involved. The only thing that could of made it more amusing would have been Sarah Palin emceeing the event.</p> <p>Anyone hungry?</p>
