We had just moved to very rural Missouri, after 8 years in D.C., barely unpacked and T-Day coming up fast. About 10 miles to the nearest town. I was at small local market looking for a turkey, none to be found. When I inquired about the lack of turkeys at the store the proprieter asked, "You mean your going to BUY one?" Several folks kind of looked my way with smiles and barely contained chuckles, (I think one of them had a banjo, but thats another story...).
I was SO embarrased, DOH! Drove to another town, far away, hid my frozen turkey in the trunk for fear someone might see it.
