"Order of 500 turkeys for the Christmas season" joke

A merchant ordered 500 turkeys for the Christmas season. A few weeks before the holiday, however, his sales dropped sharply.
Afraid that he wouldn't be able to sell all the turkeys, he phoned the distributor and instructed him to "Cut my order in half!"
When his order arrived, guess what it contained?
Five hundred turkeys, of course, each cut in half! It's really amazing how easy it is to misunderstand a message and sometimes rather embarassing, but funny!
