Yeah, I was trying to make it in under the wire, hence my crazy answer for #1. In my defense, a frozen turkey would totally hurt. ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > Yeah, I was trying to make it in under the wire, hence my crazy answer for #1. In my defense, a frozen turkey would totally hurt. My initial thought was a leg of lamb (frozen). One of favorite Alfred Hitchcock TV Episode is “Lamb to the Slaughter” where Barbara Bel Geddes murders her husband by clubbing her husband with the leg of lamb, then thaws it, and then serves it to the detectives during the investigation. But I went with Watermelon, because of “The Amazing Race” episode. ---
