Came close to smoking some wild turkeys that were strutting across the road. For those of you not familiar with these critters, they're pretty arrogant, and won't move unless you hit 'em. They even posture and fluff up their feathers to let you know that you're gonna wait for all 20 something of them to march across the road.
If I didn't care about my car, I'd have bagged 3 or 4 of 'em.

A few years ago I was working with an Indian consultant. He came back after the TGiving holidays, and he was tired, and sore, so I asked him what he was so sore after the holidays. So he tells me this...

He and a few friends (all Indian) were sitting outside one of their houses talking while the wives were in the house cooking. They saw a wild turkey strut across the back yard, so they thought to themselves "wouldn't it be nice to catch that bird...we could eat it for dinner". So they run into the house, and grab a few laundry baskets (!). Now, before I go any further, let it be known that Indians (the one's from halfway around the world) do not make the best hunters...as evidenced. In this case, it holds true...just look at their hunting equipment...laundry baskets. Anyway, they proceed into the backyard with a plan of attack. The turkey is now hiding in a small bush, so they surround the bush, and obviously the turkey will have no where to run, right? Wrong...the turkey darted out, and three Indians with laundry baskets gave chase over the hills and through the woods. Despite their best efforts, the turkey had a good Thanksgiving, and they went birdless.

I later asked him...let's suppose you caught that bird. Do you have ANY idea how to prepare a bird. He shrugged, and said "no". So I asked if anybody else in the household would know what to do with a live bird. Again, he thought about it, and replied with the same answer.

I couldn't help but to laugh...I can just picture him and his friends standing around contemplating how they are going to present their "game" to their wives.
"You kill it."
"No, you do it!"
"With what??"
All the while, the angry bird was probably concocting a scheme to pluck out each of their eyes out!
