If someone is "poor as Joe's turkey," he's impoverished. A caller raised in the South has heard that expression all his life, but wonders: Who was Joe, and what did his turkey have to do with anything? Things get clearer when Martha explains the original turkey's owner wasn't Joe, but the biblical Job. This is part of a complete episode.
