"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Turkey dies after being tossed from a plane at an annual Arkansas festival PROMOTING the area's wild bird population

• Six turkeys were tossed from a circling plane 500 feet above the ground
• One bird died upon impact
• The tradition has been going on since 1946 to promote the area's wild turkey population
• Animal rights groups and even locals have complained to no avail

Hmmmm, interesting. I always thought it was "As god is my witness".

Turkeys can fly, but not very far, or very high.

You will not find anything more 'MERICA than a 70 year old tradition that celebrates flightless birds being thrown alive from an airplane flying at 500ft.

Don't even try. You won't be able to do it.

"Barb Klug, 66, of Bull Shoals collected the dead bird and says she plans to serve it for Thanksgiving dinner."

Apparently it doesn't work the same as swimming.

WKRP in Cincinnati is the most under appreciated show in TV history.

In my best Bill Clinton voice, "It depends on what your definition of 'fly' is."

That's right. Turkeys fly just fine, it's the landing they have a problem with.

Great take Glenn.

I knew a jive turkey fool, once.

Bailey was so hot.

 

[cat_chaser]

I once asked my dad if turkeys could fly (I had a bet with my wife they could - as I knew they roosted in trees). He had a simple, yet profound answer: "son, if turkeys couldn't fly..... There would be no turkeys".

Loni was hot but I'd choose Bailey every day.

Bailey was hotter.

Weird trivia: Bailey Quarters was played by Jan Smithers. She was the long-time wife of James Brolin, who left her then married Barbra Steisand. Seems like significantly trading down to me, though I'm sure the pay is good.

But when I was a kid I really thought Bailey was hot.

Current picture. She is 67. (that makes me feel old)
