How About This For A Coincidence?
I know this is 6 day old news, but on Thanksgiving morning, my wife sent me to the store and to the pharmacy. So, on the way home, i decide to backroad it through the country, just to take my time, and have a cigar. (I'm not allowed to smoke cigars in the house. You can figure out why.)

So, i pull up to a 4 way stop in a tiny town south of us. And who walk up to the very front of my car? Two wild turkeys! Big birds! These things had to be 25 or 30 pounds and when they walked up to the driver's door, they looked right into the car, so they were that tall!

They would not get away from the car either. So, i slowly pulled backward until they started to run a little to keep up with me. When i stopped, those big clumsy birds couldn't. So, now they're behind me a little and i accelerated forward. Didn't want to hurt the birides, you know!

Just thought it was weird that these two big turkeys walked right up to my car on Thanksgiving Day.

1. The wild turkeys caught on camera at a train stop was a funny story as well.
I also saw it on the news. It looked like the wild turkeys were trying to bail out of town lol.

10. I Was Thinking Of That Ellen Degeneres Bit At The Time
You've seen it, i'm sure. The one where her parents used to leave her in the woods and she thought it was a family outing.

She then goes on to talk about one day she is walking through the woods and right across a little brook there is a mother deer and a bambi! And she stood there watching a little bit and then thought "If i only had a ........................................gun!"
