Dave Cooks the Turkey

Have you ever been in a situation where you have no idea what your doing and you time is draining away. Dave from "dave cooks the turkey" by Stuart Maclean finds himself in a predicament where he has to cook a turkey for the Christmas dinner to help out his wife. Stuart uses many different types of comedy. Dave faces situations where many people can relate to. Daves first commical error was making a promise, one of which he would have a hard time keeping. He offered to help and was received the supposedly easy task of cooking a turkey. Dave quickly realizes that "looking after the turkey, meant buying it aswell as putting it in the oven" the task already looking fatal the day before dave sets out on a midnight turkey hunt and returns with a mediocar "grade B" turkey. After he personally thawed the turkey narrowly dodging failure and feeling good that his plan was working. Although as most people have experianced the dream of a perfect plan ends in failure. Dave fails to ask how to set to the oven time to 1:30 and he in all his brilliance devises a bulletproof plan that can help him this time. He hails a cab and goes to "first class hotel" where he hopes they can cook the turkey for him in time. Dave awkwardly embarreses himself infront of his freind jim. Not only does Jim stare at him weird but later on the day he would arrive at his house, where his whole plan would unravel.
From reading this commical story about a man lazily but somewhat unsuccesfully solving his christmas problems only to have them blow up in his face at the end is a situation many can relate to.
