Turkeys. Dumb as dirt. If ever there was a creature crying out to be eaten, the turkey is it. Mmm. Turkey.

but i had a guitar and a golf bag in the back seat. sure, i could have hit the turkey with a club...but i didn't want these assorted backseat things to get all bloodied. i just wanted him to listen to reason.

Golf clubs aren't for beating wild turkeys senseless? Huh. That's all I've ever used mine for.

Did you see its face up close? They're really cute.
Turkeys have a face only a mother could love. Unfortunately, their brains are so small, they don't remember what their offspring look like.

I was scooting it across the road...I looked him right in the eye. Cute is only excusable when you're not as dumb as a salt lick. When he didn't move when I said, "please get out of the way." I knew I had a problem on my hands. When I waved my hand in his face and said, "Hello! Is there anybody in there? Are you even listening to me?" and he just said, "GAH!" I knew it was going to be a long day. Yes...I saw him close up.

Shoula put a choke chain on it and cried, "Walkies!"

(It woulda worked for Barbara Woodhouse.)

Lol! We have wild turkeys here. I was driving into Target once and got stopped at the light by the entrance. Look to the right and there's a four foot turkey standing at the crosswalk like he was waiting for the little green go.

And no, they don't listen. Them and zebras.

come to think of it, i don't think i ask if he was wild?

i'm sure his answer would have been, 'gah!'.

Hey, if turkeys, zebras and lapdogs have money to spend, why not? Except for the stink and the mess, I suppose.

I've heard that turkeys are frequently too stupid to remember to sit down while laying their eggs. So the eggs, falling from a height, often break when they hit the ground. Target aisles might be a bit slippery with broken eggs dropped by stupid turkeys.

But they have to wear one of those fitted vests that state "Certified Service Turkey."
