The Cry of: Revenge! Saith the Turkeys, at Last!

Have you read that wild turkeys are taking over Boston? It seems to be true. They are attacking people left and right.

 Folks are having to cross the street to keep from crossing the turkeys.

A cop is assigned to a street crossing to ward off the testy turkeys and keep them from jumping the children trying to get to school.

Turkeys have been causing traffic jams during rush hour (what else is new?) by congregating in large numbers  in the middle of busy intersections.

Folks are afraid to go out into their backyards, because the turkeys are there, too.

Maybe they're tired of all the stupid turkey jokes.

Maybe they still resent people laughing at Ben Franklin when he wanted the turkey as the bird to represent America. (I mean, really?)

Maybe they're tired of their fellow turkeys being eaten by the millions on a certain holiday that just happened to have occurred yesterday...

And we thought elephants were the only animals with long memories.

Perhaps we should change the saying to "A turkey never forgets."

Food for thought.
