The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 21, 2017

I axed him what was he gonna do with that thing, and when he said, “You won’t feel a thing”, I hit him.

An obvious hatchet job

Wild turkeys do fly. Pretty well in fact.

Another episode of “Chopped” avoided.

What? Not stunned first?

As God is his witness……

Where’s Les Nessman?

Is he still cowering in the doorway?

Wild turkeys roost in trees.

Wild turkeys do. He took a walk on his wild side.

Turkeys are actually very good flyers, utube it!

Turkie Borden took an ax and gave her farmer forty whacks.

When she saw what she had done, she gave another forty-one.

Lizzie the Turkey hen took the axe,

gave the farmer 40 whacks.

When she saw the farm hand looking on,

She have him 41.

He got his Wild Turkey on!

Wild turkeys can fly, at least for short distances. I was camping in Cypress Hills years ago and was awakened by an odd sound that apparently was wild turkeys, introduced there in the 1930s. They roosted in trees when they wanted to rest.

Wild turkeys are nasty birds. Mean and belligerent. If you see them, turn in the other direction and walk away. If they see you, get ready to confront them, because they will only back down if they lose a fight.

Actually, turkeys can fly-at 60 miles per hour!
