Just in time for turkey dinner, Amazon's Alexa assistant has some Thanksgiving-themed jokes for you (AMZN)
You probably knew Amazon's Alexa was smart. But did you know it has a great sense of humor too?
The voice assistant inside the company's line of Echo smart speakers, Alexa can set timers, play music, order a car, and even read to you at night.
That's pretty impressive, but a know-it-all assistant could get irritating after awhile. Luckily the whizzes at Amazon decided to lighten up Alexa with a sense of humor.
Alexa's jokes often veer dangerously close to ones your dad might tell, but at times it can be pretty cheeky. Amazon also seems to enjoy holidays — just in time for Thanksgiving, it's added some seasonally festive jokes.
Here are 12 of our favorite Alexa jokes, Thanksgiving-themed and otherwise:

"Alexa, tell me a Thanksgiving joke."
Alexa has several Thanksgiving jokes at the ready. Another one is: "What did the corn say to the butter? See you on the other sides."
"Alexa, give me a Thanksgiving limerick."
In case you need a refresher, a limerick is type of poem that is supposed to be comical. It has to have five lines, and the first, second, and fifth lines have to rhyme as do the third and fourth lines, but not with each other.
Alexa sometimes plays fast and loose with the dictionairy with its limericks. Another one it tells is: "There once was a hockey-playing turkey, who around the goal crease would lurky. He'd fire one in, to an ear-splitting din, then you'd see on his face a bit smirky."
"Alexa, what are you thankful for?"
Good one!
