I found Aunt Aggie particularly amusing. Very nice–I liked all the other various “funny turns” and the fact that they all seemed completely different and unrelated.

Yeah, those'd give you a funny turn, all right. Swollen because they've been pickled (as in: <i>someone's</i> liver is swollen after all of the scotch drinking), or swollen because they belonged to a goose or duck with an eating disorder and are called "fois gras?"

Having funny turns of our own. “…turkey overdoses and swollen livers.” Yeah, those’d give you a funny turn, all right.
