Funny Jokes - Roast Ghost

KAY MARTIN, a secretary to a New Zealand MP, got the
fright of her life a few weeks ago. According to the Auckland
Sunday Star, she and a friend were chatting over a drink
when they heard a chicken squawking. The bird sounded
in some distress, so they went outside to investigate,
thinking perhaps that it had escaped from one of the
neighbors. But there were no chickens anywhere.

Then Martin realized with horror that the sound was
coming from her own kitchen--coming, in fact, from the
oven, where she had put a chicken in to roast half an
hour earlier. "It was as if it was shrieking at me from
its grave," she says. "It was so bizarre I just froze."

As they approached the oven, the squawking reached
a crescendo. They took the tray out, and as the chicken
began to cool, the squawking died away. Martin
chopped the neck off and threw it in the sink. She
noticed that the vocal chords were intact.

"Steam was coming up the neck from the stuffing,"
says Martin, and this had caused the dead bird to
squawk.

She has not cooked chicken since.
