Testy Turkeys Fight Back

Nearly everyone enjoys turkey on Thanksgiving (except vegetarians and of course, turkeys).  This year Americans will consume over 475 billion pounds of turkey.

The other night I had a dream that the turkeys fought back.   My dream became a reality when I stumbled upon this video showing turkeys attacking people.  The bird at the end of the video must be the Alec Baldwin of turkeys, because he goes after the cameraman as if he’s an annoying paparazzi.

One more thought…Benjamin Franklin pushed for the turkey to be our national bird.  If that would have happened, does that mean we’d be eating bald eagles for Thanksgiving?  When I’m sitting at the table with my family, I’ll ponder that right after they pass me seconds of turkey.
